As a key player in modern scientific methodology, statistics, the science of collecting, processing and analyzing data from observation of random phenomena (i.e., in which chance is a factor), is an essential part of the process of formulating a research hypothesis, choosing the study variables and research method, analyzing the results and drawing conclusions. In this technical note, the authors touch on the main notions to be mastered for optimal use of descriptive statistics in this process, facilitating publication of articles submitted to the European Annals of Otorhinolaryngology, Head and Neck Diseases.
作为现代科学方法论的重要组成部分，统计学是一门收集、处理和分析随机现象观测数据的科学（即其中机会是一个因素），它是制定研究假设、选择研究变量和研究方法、分析结果和得出结论过程的重要组成部分。在本技术说明中，作者提到了在这个过程中优化使用描述性统计数据所需掌握的主要概念，这有助于将文章发表在《欧洲耳鼻喉科学、头颈部疾病杂志》上。
