Scientific progress depends on good research, and good research needs good statistics. But statistical analysis is tricky to get right, even for the best and brightest of us. You'd be surprised how many scientists are doing it wrong.

Statistics Done Wrong is a pithy, essential guide to statistical blunders in modern science that will show you how to keep your research blunder-free. You'll examine embarrassing errors and omissions in recent research, learn about the misconceptions and scientific politics that allow these mistakes to happen, and begin your quest to reform the way you and your peers do statistics.

You'll find advice on:

Asking the right question, designing the right experiment, choosing the right statistical analysis, and sticking to the plan

How to think about p values, significance, insignificance, confidence intervals, and regression

Choosing the right sample size and avoiding false positives

Reporting your analysis and publishing your data and source code

Procedures to follow, precautions to take, and analytical software that can help

Scientists: Read this concise, powerful guide to help you produce statistically sound research.

Statisticians: Give this book to everyone you know.

The first step toward statistics done right is Statistics Done Wrong.

读后感

1、统计作为一门关于推测的学问，原本就不负责给出确凿的答案。 2、破除统计迷信之后，可以具体到具体统计方法的犯错软肋。 3、比较遗憾的是，对于具体统计方法，阐述得不够具体、生动、科普，甚而言，没有说明方法，而只是说明方法有软肋——这属于车轱辘话来回说。 4、翻译在...  

翻譯極為差近，遍布統計理解錯誤和基本英文文句理解錯誤，而且又喜歡自作主張增添文句或減少文句，名詞翻譯前後也不統一，光是　power 就有功效和勢（忘了有無檢定力）這樣不一致的翻譯，多人翻譯是ok的，但是掛譯者名的那位教授請統整好翻譯文句，也必須對全書譯文負責。 諷刺...

看的中文版，结合英文版。记得传笔记

粗读了一遍，准备细看下，还是很有意思，实验设计的缺陷，以及统计指标的一些误读都有涉及。

作为统计系的PhD学生读这本书还是很有收获。以后consulting更要好好工作啦~

坏了，以后谁也不敢相信了
