... Descriptive statistics show how often or how frequent an event or score occurred. Inferential statistics help researchers know whether they can generalize their findings to a population based upon their sample of participants. Inferential statistics use data to assess likelihood—or probability. ...

A Macro for Calculating Percentiles on Left Censored Environmental Data using the Kaplan-Meier Method

... Calculating percentiles such as the median and quartiles is straightforward when the data values are known. However, environmental data often are reported from the analytical laboratory as left censored, meaning the actual concentration for a given contaminant was not detected above the method detec ...

... we set  = 0. In other words, the actual population mean is equal to the claimed value. The least likely scenario is that the population mean is exactly equal to the claimed value.  Alternative hypothesis:   25.6oC, which is the opposite of the null hypothesis. This is the most likely scenario. ...

Misuse of statistics

Statistics are supposed to make something easier to understand but when used in a misleading fashion can trick the casual observer into believing something other than what the data shows. That is, a misuse of statistics occurs when a statistical argument asserts a falsehood. In some cases, the misuse may be accidental. In others, it is purposeful and for the gain of the perpetrator. When the statistical reason involved is false or misapplied, this constitutes a statistical fallacy.The false statistics trap can be quite damaging to the quest for knowledge. For example, in medical science, correcting a falsehood may take decades and cost lives.Misuses can be easy to fall into. Professional scientists, even mathematicians and professional statisticians, can be fooled by even some simple methods, even if they are careful to check everything. Scientists have been known to fool themselves with statistics due to lack of knowledge of probability theory and lack of standardization of their tests.
