Subject: Pitfalls of Anecdotal Evidence
Hi everyone,
I was looking for a book or a paper which explains what is wrong with anecdotal evidence/unsystematic observations or why we need an evidence- based-approach.
I am thinking of cognitive biases, problem of chance findings, statistical issues and such.
Thanks
Anoop
