• Our brains are trained to pick out patterns, even if they are not
there.
• We are too confident in our conclusions.
• Data are complex, and often follow non-normal distributions.
• We need to consider alternate hypotheses and alternative

• We need to (should) consider what form of statistical analysis we
will use before we conduct an experiment.
