Emerging standards in statistical practice: implications for clinical trials in rehabilitation medicine
1Kessler Medical Rehabilitation Research and Education Corporation, West Orange, New Jersey 07052, USA.
Abstract:
This article discusses selected issues in statistical practice that occur during the conduct of clinical trials in medical rehabilitation: (1) supplementing null hypothesis statistical testing and P values, (2) determining sample size and statistical power, (3) handling missing data, and (4) dealing with multiplicity (i.e., multiple endpoints, multiple statistical comparisons, and repeated measurements). Suggested strategies to address these issues are offered in light of the International Conference on Harmonisation guideline "Statistical Principles for Clinical Trials."

Statistical Inference Techniques in Hypothesis Testing: Parametric Versus Nonparametric Data
Parametric statistics, as the name suggests, assumes that data follow a specific distribution, often a normal distribution. This assumption enables robust hypothesis testing and estimation. Parametric methods, like the Student's t-test or Goodness-of-fit test, are frequently employed in biostatistics due to their robustness. For instance, comparing...
