In an effort to improve the quality of statistics in the clinical urology literature, statisticians at and BJUI came together to develop a set of guidelines to address common errors of statistical analysis, reporting and interpretation. Authors should “break any of the guidelines if it makes scientific sense to do so” but would need to provide a clear justification. Adoption of the guidelines will in our view not only increase the quality of published papers in our journals but improve statistical knowledge in our field in general.
为了提高临床泌尿外科文献中统计学的质量,[期刊名 1]和 BJUI 的统计学家共同制定了一套指南,以解决统计分析、报告和解释中常见的错误。作者“如果这样做符合科学意义,可以打破任何指南”,但需要提供明确的理由。我们认为,采用这些指南不仅会提高我们期刊发表论文的质量,还会提高我们领域的统计学知识水平。
