Statistics

Describe statistical methods with enough detail to enable a knowledgeable reader with access to the original data to verify the reported results.

When possible, quantify findings and present them with appropriate indicators of measurement error or uncertainty.

Avoid sole reliance on statistical hypothesis testing, such as the use of P values, which fails to convey important quantitative information.

When appropriate, confidence intervals should be presented; see, e.g., Harris (1), Henderson (2), and references therein.
