外语定量实证研究统计失误:分析与对策

通过实例分析,探寻外语定量实证研究因数据复杂性多值性而导致统计失误的普遍性原因,提出避免统计失误的两个基本对策:适时激活初等数学知识;全面理解包含在统计方法中的统计思想。外语实证研究人员若能从失误中学习,并掌握两个对策所涉及的基础知识,可避免或减少研究报告中的统计失误。

How to Avoid Statistical Errors in FLT Quantitative Empirical Research

This study places emphasis on the exploration of general causes that holds primary responsibility for statistical errors in the FLT quantitative empirical research. It suggests making use of two basic strategies to avoid errors in the treatment of complicated and multi-valued data:the timely activation of the elementary mathematical knowledge, and the overall comprehension of chief statistical principles. The authors argue that using the knowledge involving these two strategies helps avoid statistical errors in FLT empirical research reports.
