Reading for January 8
Fragment of a discussion from Course talk:STAT 550 2013
1. Regarding the pooling of subject data from the “Correlation, Regression, and Repeated Data” paper: would researchers use this incorrect method on purpose so that they may obtain a significant result? If so, how many?
2. What type of data would not have the issue of regression towards the mean?
3. What medical treatments are used today which are deemed significant, but are in fact concluded due to poor analyses?
