abstract = "This chapter draws upon 20 years of practical and educational experience of a Statistical Editor. It provides detailed guidance for young researchers on the proper approach for defining univariate statistical methods for use in medical research. Six questions must be answered in sequence before starting a statistical analysis. These are: (1) What is the objective of the analysis? (2) What is the type of the data? (3) Are the data normally distributed? (4) How many groups are being compared? (5) What is the number of subjects in each group? (6) Are the compared data related or unrelated? The answer to each of these questions is presented in this chapter with applied practical examples that are easy to understand and follow. If these questions are answered properly, and if recommended advice is followed, it is anticipated that the correct statistical methods will be selected.",
