Statistical errors in immunologic research.

James R Murphy1.   

Abstract

Medical research articles have always been subject to errors in reporting statistical results. Although most of these are minor, they raise questions about the integrity of medical research. Most of the errors come from a misunderstanding about the tools used in statistical analysis. This article discusses some of the most frequent errors and provides examples of how to deal with them correctly.
