When scientists conduct experiments, they want to be able to gauge how results are predicted—their simple hypothesis. More specifically, they study conditions that will test what…

So you have carefully written your research paper and probably ran it through your colleagues ten to fifteen times. While there are many elements to a good research article, one of…

When starting a new research project, it is important to develop a sound research question. This is a crucial step in the research process, as it will guide your research activity.…

A report on a scientific study using human participants will include a description of the participant characteristics. This is included as a subsection of the “Methods” section,…

We have been looking at various ways in which statistics is essential in all clinical trial phases. We have examined hypothesis testing, error types, p-values, power, sample size…

Clinical trials very often involve performing multiple comparisons on the clinical data. This leads to multiplicity problem. The multiplicity problem occurs because the more…

Biostatistics plays a critical role in helping clinical researchers determine the value of their findings. It is important in calculating the sample size, determining the power of…

Earlier in this article series, we looked at the importance of the hypothesis in clinical trials and clinical research. Now we will look at the types of statistical errors that can…

In this article series, we will be looking at some of the important concepts of biostatistics in clinical trials and clinical research. Statistics is frequently used to analyze…

A problem of reproducibility has begun to emerge among researchers around the world. As scientists study increasingly complex systems with multiple variables, there will certainly…

Researchers publish scientific manuscripts to present data collected during experiments and to speculate on their significance. In doing so, manuscripts document the process of…

The introduction is one of the main sections of a research article. In this section, referees, editors, and readers can find out what the study is about, what motivated the author…
