Variability: Human nature and its impact on measurement and statistical analysis

• Variability is a human nature and large or small variability could directly impact our measurement and statistical data analysis practice. • If not handle correctly, variability could lead to incorrect conclusion or misleading statement on research findings. • Using real and hypothetical data, com...

description • Variability is a human nature and large or small variability could directly impact our measurement and statistical data analysis practice. • If not handle correctly, variability could lead to incorrect conclusion or misleading statement on research findings. • Using real and hypothetical data, common errors in measurement and analyzing of variability were illustrated and how to address the errors were highlighted. • There is a call for improving in measurement techniques and better statistical training for handling variability.
