| 20 | | 3. What measurements were taken? |
| 21 | | 1. Is there any missing data? How should that be handled? |
| 22 | | 1. What specific question is the statistics hoping to address? This can be tricky, as slightly different questions may require completely different tests. |
| | 20 | 3. What is the sex of each sample and/or cell line? (Relevant if they're not all the same.) |
| | 21 | 4. Were the samples obtained in different batches? Or at different times (which can be thought of as batches)? |
| | 22 | 5. Are there other characteristics/parameters of cells or animals that could be considered? |
| | 23 | 6. Does the experiment have paired design? Are some samples more similar to each other than to the other samples, implying some type of grouping? |
| | 24 | 7. Are there potential quality control issues that we should know? |
| | 25 | 8. Are there any potential confounding problems (like batch being correlated with treatment)? |
| | 26 | 9. For time courses, are measurements repeated on the same samples or on different samples? |
| | 27 | 10. What measurements were taken? |
| | 28 | 11. Is there any missing data? How should that be handled? |
| | 29 | 12. Are there potential extreme data points? If so, are those valid measurements or more likely due to technical errors? |
| | 30 | 12. What specific question is the statistics hoping to address? This can be tricky, as slightly different questions may require completely different tests. |
