Resumen

Este trabajo proporciona información actualizada sobre los errores estadísticosque comúnmente se cometen en la literatura científica y comoestos podrían ser evitados. El objetivo principal es una revisión de maneraconceptual de los errores estadísticos frecuentemente observados, asícomo defectos y trampas en la ciencia médica y veterinaria para ayudara los investigadores a producir resultados estadísticamente correctos ensus futuras investigaciones. Al mismo tiempo, esta revisión podría ayudara que los lectores de revistas científicas identifiquen análisis estadísticoso presentación de datos cuestionables y puedan estimar lo qué los autoreshabrían concluido si hubieran utilizado métodos estadísticos apropiados.

Common conceptual statistical mistakes in scientificliterature

This work seeks to provide up-to-date information on commonly made statisticalmistakes and statistical reports in scientific papers, and how thesecan be avoided. The main goal is to comprehensively review frequently observedstatistical errors, flaws and pitfalls in medical and veterinary sciencein order to help researchers to produce statistically correct output intheir future reports. At the same time, it can help readers to identify questionablestatistical analysis, and estimate what the authors would haveconcluded when appropriate statistical methods have been used.

Keywords: statistical mistakes, statistical methods, research statistics.
