IMPACT member, Heather Allore, PhD, leads a new series called the Guide to Statistics and Methods created by JAMA Internal Medicine. The Guide is intended to help clinicians understand and interpret scientific, peer-reviewed articles. The series of articles will avoid unnecessary use of statistical jargon, provide context for the information presented, and provide helpful data visualizations where possible.
The goal is to help readers become educated consumers of medical literature by explaining statistical concepts and methods that influence inference, bias, validity, and generalizability of research findings
