“Use – Misuse” of Statistics: A Domain of Mathematics

A section of mathematics deal with statistics. The foundational tool for assessing data relationships and analyzing data study is related to statistics. Unfortunately, it is observed that these tools are mostly misused, either inadvertently because of ignorance or lack of planning, or conspicuously to attain desired result. Data abuses include the incorrect application of statistical tests, lack of transparency and disclosure about decisions that are made, incomplete or incorrect multivariate model building, or exclusion of outliers. This leads to sum up the information inaccurately. Some researchers follow choose and pick method to select relevant data that can lead them to attain their required result as compared to exact and precise results.
