In the past few weeks, I’ve found it helpful to come to Data Methods and search the archives for threads that often provide useful context to a question I have regarding statistical reasoning.
I hope the following thread helps clinical researchers and statisticians understand one another better. I’ve found Sander Greenland’s posts and peer reviewed papers enormously helpful.
Physicist Richard Feynman had a wonderful discussion on the relationship between mathematics and physics. I think substituting “statistician” for “mathematician” and “clinician” for “physicist” is a perfect metaphor for the communication problems described here.
