MATAMOROS PINEL, Roberto Antonio  y  CEBALLOS MARQUEZ, Alejandro. Common conceptual statistical mistakes in scientific literature. Ces. Med. Vet. Zootec. [online]. 2017, vol.12, n.3, pp.211-229. ISSN 1900-9607.  https://doi.org/10.21615/cesmvz.12.3.4.

This work seeks to provide up-to-date information on commonly made statistical mistakes and statistical reports in scientific papers, and how these can be avoided. The main goal is to comprehensively review frequently observed statistical errors, flaws and pitfalls in medical and veterinary science in order to help researchers to produce statistically correct output in their future reports. At the same time, it can help readers to identify questionable statistical analysis, and estimate what the authors would have concluded when appropriate statistical methods have been used.

Palabras clave : statistical mistakes; statistical methods; research statistics.
