Statistics & Ethics

· Your job is to verify a hypothesis and hope that the data collected and your interpretation supports that hypothesis

· However, hypotheses may be incorrect, or may be correct but supporting evidence may be weak or inappropriate

· Ensure that data is collected in a fair and unbiased way so as not to favor certain viewpoints

· Ensure that questions to be addressed can in fact be addressed with available information

· Ensure that interpretations are made in dependently of desired results of predispositions

Advice

· Write down your ethical standards

· Read them regularly

· State them in the positive and negative

· What I WILL DO and what I WON”T DO

Written Rules of Behavior

· I will be honest/I will not lie

· I will play by the rules/ I will not cheat

· I will respect people/ I will not be a bully

· I will give credits to others/ I will not take all the glory for myself

· I will be humble

· I will be proud of my contributions/ I will not demand recognition or reward

· I may have to work hard/ Sloppiness & shortcuts are not acceptable

· I will be unbiased/ I will not favor a result

· I will be factual/ I will not exaggerate or overreach

· I will maintain data integrity/ I will not manipulate data

· I will archive my data sets/ I will not destroy data

· I will document my work/

· It allows you to perform a self-evaluation

· It prepares you before the ethical dilemma appears

Small Change

· Beware of a request for a small change

· It sounds like the person needs a favor

Humor

· Humor is such a dangerous issue

· One person’s joke is another person’s insult

· Don’t tell jokes

· Don’t repeat jokes

· If it might be offensive, it probably is offensive
