Interpretation mistakes in statistical methods: Their importance and some recommendations. Prior research has identified some of the most common misconceptions on how researchers interpret the results of significance tests. In this study, we examine the scope of these misconceptions in a sample of university professors and researchers from Spain on the basis of a short questionnaire. The obtained results provide important information: i) to prevent wrong interpretation from the data, ii) to correct the wrong use of statistical testing, iii) to suggest new ways of examining the data, and iv) to propose some modifications on the editorial criteria to publish scientific work.
其重要性及一些建议。先前的研究已经确定了研究人员在如何解读显著性检验结果方面的一些最常见误解。在本研究中，我们基于一份简短问卷，对来自西班牙的大学教授和研究人员样本中这些误解的范围进行了考察。所获得的结果提供了重要信息：i）防止对数据的错误解读，ii）纠正统计检验的错误使用，iii）提出检验数据的新方法，以及iv）对发表科学作品的编辑标准提出一些修改建议。
