Abstract
Part one of this mini-series on statistics in cerebrovascular research uses the simplest yet most common comparison in experimental research (two groups with a continuous outcome variable) to introduce the very basic concepts of statistical testing: a priori formulation of hypotheses and definition of planned statistical analysis, error considerations, and power analysis.Keywords
