State the main statistical hypotheses (should only be one or two) Identify predictors and outcome variables
Question:
• State the main statistical hypotheses (should only be one or two)
• Identify predictors and outcome variables (have their measurements been clearly explained?)
• You may present the above in a table, and the table is excluded from the word count.
• Is the regression model a good approach for the hypotheses stated? Why or why not?
• Assess how the researchers have chosen the predictors in their model.
• Write down the final statistical model using the statistical notation
• Have they conducted a power analysis? What implication does this have for their findings
Assumptions
• Does the researcher state the relevant assumptions and explain how they were assessed and the outcome?
• If there are assumptions that have been violated, does the researcher explain how they dealt with this violation?
• Consider, in general, the implications of having met or violated the assumptions on their research findings.
Presentation of their results
• Assess if and how well they have provided the following information.
• Sociodemographic data/Participant charcterisics
• Univariable regression
• Multivariable regression
• Assess presentation of data in tables and graphs, eg, titles are clear, correct use of decimal places etc.
• Consider the implications to the reader if there are any discrepancies or omissions.
Interpretation of the statistical results
• Is the discussion section linked to the statistical results
• Are the main regression coefficients explained with clear definitions of the units of the covariates?
