“The ethical statistician uses methodology and data that are relevant and appropriate; without favoritism or
prejudice; and in a manner intended to produce valid, interpretable, and reproducible results.
The ethical statistician protects and respects the rights and interests of human and animal subjects at all
stages of their involvement in a project. This includes respondents to the census or to surveys, those
whose data are contained in administrative records and subjects of physically or psychologically invasive
research”.
