正确设计实验研究、选择适当的数据统计分析和有效地展示结果是良好开展和传播科学的关键。杂草研究中统计数据的使用和呈现的最新指南于1988年出版。从那时起，该杂志所涵盖的研究范围和可用的统计技术都有了发展。本文讨论了统计学的变化，并提供了一个参考工作，将有助于研究人员在设计和分析他们的工作。它还将为编辑和审稿人提供指导。本文件分为几个部分，这将有助于选择相关段落，因为我们认识到，特定的方法需要特定的统计分析。它还使用例子，问题和清单，使非专业人士可以朝着正确的方法工作。统计数据可能很复杂，因此知道何时寻求专家建议很重要。这篇文章的结构和布局应该能帮助杂草科学家，但它不能为每一种技术提供全面的指导。从而为进一步的阅读提供参考。我们想强调的是，统计方法不是一套按照惯例需要盲目应用的食谱;每个实验或研究都可能涉及这些准则无法涵盖的微妙之处。尽管如此，我们预计，这篇论文将有助于杂草科学家在他们的初步设计的研究，在数据分析和结果发表的介绍。
The correct design of experimental studies, the selection of the appropriate statistical analysis of data and the efficient presentation of results are key to the good conduct and communication of science. The last Guidance for the use and presentation of statistics in Weed Research was published in 1988. Since then, there have been developments in both the scope of research covered by the journal and in the statistical techniques available. This paper addresses the changes in statistics and provides a reference work that will aid researchers in the design and analysis of their work. It will also provide guidance for editors and reviewers. The paper is organised into sections, which will aid the selection of relevant paragraphs, as we recognise that particular approaches require particular statistical analysis. It also uses examples, questions and checklists, so that non-specialists can work towards the correct approach. Statistics can be complex, so knowing when to seek specialist advice is important. The structure and layout of this contribution should help weed scientists, but it cannot provide a comprehensive guide to every technique. Therefore, we provide references to further reading. We would like to reinforce the idea that statistical methods are not a set of recipes whose mindless application is required by convention; each experiment or study may involve subtleties that these guidelines cannot cover. Nevertheless, we anticipate that this paper will help weed scientists in their initial designs for research, in the analysis of data and in the presentation of results for publication.
