Statistics is a sensitive topic of discussion. Every research scholar who is indulged in creating a dissertation/thesis paper must take special precautions while analyzing huge chunks of data using the concept of statistics. In this blog, I would be familiarizing you with the importance of avoiding the misuse of statistics in data analysis.
There are research scholars who often tend to use statistics in a bad form. They use incorrect parameters for analyzing the large groups of data collected for the chosen research topic. Data is nothing, but well-thought and well-analyzed information. It may include numbers, words, measurements, explanations or even images of things etc. Some research scholars use statistics to study non-numerical data, which is completely unethical and leads to un-desired results. Statistics deals only with aggregate and not with individuals.
Some doctoral students make the mistake of applying the statistical data with a specific situation. This is not correct because the statistical data collected for a given purpose cannot be applied to any specific situation. I am sure after knowing about these aspects of misusing statistics, you would surely remain much more careful while your next venture of analyzing data using the statistical testing tools.
