5 tips to write better papers
|
|
|
Maarten van Smeden is a medical statistician and epidemiologist. He wrote five simple ways to write a better scientific paper.
1. Carefully formulate a specific research question that you can answer with data.
2. Stick to answering the research question, resist the temptation of finding more interesting stories to tell.
3. Reporting guidelines.
4. Most reporting guidelines come with an Exploration and Elaboration paper. These are gold mines of citations you can check for the best methods guidance there is.
5. Make sure the aims of your paper are clearly formulated on the final paragraph of the introduction.

Statistical properties of RCT
|
|
|
Stephen Senn has recently written a paper on the bias in RCTs. He abstracts the concept of a RCT as a triple (β,b,s), where β is the primary efficacy parameter, b the estimate, and s the standard error (s>0). If the parameter β is either a difference of means, a logodds ratio or a log hazard ratio, allowing to assume that b is unbiased and Normall. This then allows us to estimate the joint distribution of the z-value z=b/s and the signal-to-noise ratio SNR=β/s based on a sample of 23 551 pairs (b,s) from the Cochrane database. The main finding was that many statistical quantities depend on (β,b,s) only through the pair (z,SNR).

Causal analyses
of databases
|
|
|
Miguel Hernán has recently published an article about causal inference from observational data. Observational databases are often used to study causal questions. Before being granted access to data or funding, researchers may need to prove that “the statistical power of their analysis will be high”. The goal of a causal analysis is to quantify the effect as unbiasedly and precisely as possible, the solution to observational analyses with imprecise effect estimates is not avoiding observational analyses with imprecise estimates.
