Résumé
De nombreuses discussions, parfois vives, parfois critiques, ont eu lieu sur l’utilisation des statistiques depuis le début du nouveau millénaire. Ce court texte d’opinion a comme objectif de puiser à ces critiques pour faire ressortir dix bonnes façons de s’atteler à la tâche d’analyser des données. Nous vous offrons ainsi notre propre version des dix commandements. Nous espérons ultimement qu’ils encourageront la communauté scientifique à réfléchir à ses pratiques d’analyses quantitatives et à les améliorer.
Abstract
Many discussions, sometimes heated, sometimes critical, were held on the use of statistics since the beginning of the new millennium. The aim of this opinion piece is to tap these criticisms in order to highlight ten ways to analyze a data set. We thus offer our own version of the Ten Commandments. We ultimately hope this will encourage the scientific community to improve its quantitative analysis practices.
