The seven habits of highly effective data users

MD, MPH Richard M. Rosenfeld

The seven habits are
(1) check quality before quantity,
(2) describe before you analyze,
(3) accept the uncertainty of all data,
(4) measure error with the right statistical test,
(5) put clinical importance before statistical significance,
(6) seek the sample source, and
(7) view science as a cumulative process.
