Statisticians, Econometricians, and Adversary Proceedings
本文讨论了统计学家作为专家证人时面临的特殊问题，包括方法阐述、避免数据挖掘、解释假设检验与预测的区别，以及保持客观性，并基于实际经验给出例子。
Statisticians acting as expert witnesses encounter special problems. These include (a) exposition of underlying methods and concepts, (b) the avoidance of data mining when attorneys wish to leave no stone unturned, and (c) the explanation of hypothesis testing versus prediction. Data management practices are particularly important. Appropriate and inappropriate forms of criticism are discussed, as is the problem of maintaining objectivity. Examples drawn from actual experience are given.
