Abstract:
Statistical analysis of data collected in experimental or observational studies is an important part of nutritional research. If it is not done appropriately, there is a risk that information in the data is lost, or that conclusions are misleading. The present article does not attempt a full review of the subject of statistics, but attempts to list aspects where care is needed.
