Abstract

Often it has been said that proper prior preparation prevents performance. Many of the mistakes made in research have their origins back at the point of data collection. Perhaps it is natural human instinct not to plan; we learn from our experiences. However, it is crucial when it comes to the endeavours of science that we do plan our data collection with analysis and interpretation in mind. In this section on data collection, we will review some fundamental concepts of experimental design, sample size estimation, the assumptions that underlie most statistical processes, and ethical principles.
