Statistics for food production
Researchers can employ statistical tools at any stage of their research, from planning through publication. We must keep in mind, however, that statistics are meaningless if the study is poorly organized. Incorrect use of statistical methods, on the other hand, results in erroneous results. The consistency of the experiment design and statistical analysis of the results determines the quality of the investigation's findings and conclusions. Better quality inquiry planning, conducting, and reporting is usually attained at research institutions where scientists and experienced statisticians collaborate. In the vast majority of cases, nevertheless, researchers use statistical methodologies based on their expertise and intuition. Up to 70% of study articles used or interpreted statistics incorrectly, according to assessments of biological and agricultural journals published around the turn of the century.
