PY - 2015 T2 - Users' Guides to the Medical Literature: A Manual for Evidence-Based Clinical Practice, 3rd ed AB - For every treatment, there is a true, underlying effect that any individual experiment can only estimate (see Chapter 6, Why Study Results Mislead: Bias and Random Error). Investigators use statistical methods to advance their understanding of this true effect. This chapter explores the logic underlying one approach to statistical inquiry: hypothesis testing. Readers interested in how to teach the concepts reviewed in this chapter to clinical learners may be interested in an interactive script we have developed for this purpose.1 SN - PB - McGraw-Hill Education CY - New York, NY Y2 - 2024/03/28 UR - jamaevidence.mhmedical.com/content.aspx?aid=1183876298 ER -
