Fowler, N. L. Strategies for the collection and use of quantitative data (powerpoint from a talk given at the Texas Plant Conservation Conference, September 2004)

Fowler, N. L. 1990. The 10 most common statistical errors. Bulletin of the Ecological Society of America 71(3):161-164.  (785kb pdf file)  (low-resolution version: 294kb pdf file)
        This short paper is old but unfortunately not outdated, although I would probably not draw so heavily on ANOVA for examples of different types of errors were I writing it today.  As far as I know it is not available on-line anywhere else, and as I still get occasional requests for it I am posting a copy here.
