Types of Statistical Reasoning Errors and The Analysis of Causes
统计推理谬误的类型与成因分析

Statistical reasoning is widely employed and mistakes tend to occur in the process of reasoning. These mistakes are committed either due to false premises-the statistical data collected fail to reflect the overall characterics, or as a result of improper analysis-the treatment of these data does not bring a general conclusion. All this results from outside disturbances and in particular from subjectivism and prefudices-cognitive mentods of subjectivism and metaphysics. Mistakes of this sort hinder people from appreciating reality correctly and so must be analyzed in scientific manner.
