Symposium--Statistical Concepts and Tools to Aid In Publishing Proper Research Conclusions

Oral Session

ASA Section: Biometry and Statistical Computing

Many well-trained agricultural scientists are not proficient and/or comfortable with the latest statistical designs and analyses that are now integral to scientific study, and that are expected/required to be used in peer reviewed journals. This session will present members with applications of proper statistical approaches to promote such methods for improved and higher impact manuscripts for our Societies' journals. The Agronomy Journal is co-sponsor to this Symposium.
