Abstract
Statistical techniques should be considered as research tools that can produce meaningful, reliable, and unbiased results when properly applied to situations for which they are designed. However, no statistical technique can protect against poor planning, inaccuracies in the data, unsound analysis, or incorrect interpretation. High-quality research requires proper planning and careful execution of experiments, correct application of statistical techniques, and, finally, interpretation of results by one who understands not only the statistical techniques, but also the field to which they are applied.
