Statistical Analysis Plan

A Statistical Analysis Plan (SAP) is a detailed document that outlines how researchers will analyze data collected in a study. It specifies the methods, procedures, and criteria for examining the data to ensure the results are accurate, reliable, and unbiased. The SAP helps guide the analysis process, defining what statistical tests will be used, how to handle missing data, and how to interpret findings. Essentially, it acts as a roadmap to ensure that the study’s conclusions are based on consistent and transparent analysis methods.
