Talk:Intention-to-treat analysis

Hyphens
Shouldn't it be intention-to-treat analysis? Without the hyphens, it sounds like someone's intention, when that person desires to treat analysis (whatever it might mean to "treat analysis"). --Trovatore (talk) 21:05, 11 April 2013 (UTC)

Example
The 2nd paragraph of the "Example" section begins with "For example". But it isn't clear what it is an example of. It doesn't appear to be about what was discussed in the first paragraph. Ricklaman (talk) 05:32, 13 January 2014 (UTC)

Issues
The 2nd paragraph of the "Issues" section contains the following: "many clinical trials have excluded participants after the random assignment in their analysis". There is no reason stated for this exclusion, at least in the immediate vicinity. I assume the sub-sections below are examples of (or possibly reasons for) that, or at least connected in some way, but it isn't exactly clear how. Overall, being able to really understand this article seems to presuppose a good deal of prior knowledge or a couple of logical jumps that I find difficult to make. It would be great if someone with the relevant knowledge could add even a couple of extra paragraphs to spell out the arguments. Ricklaman (talk) 05:41, 13 January 2014 (UTC)

Hard to understand
For me (mathematician but neither a statistician nor in the medical field) this page is very hard to understand. I get the impression that it is written for people who already know what it is, but want to learn some of the finer points.

It might help to use fewer technical terms in the introduction (or explain them) and have a section with a fictional example trial that leads to different conclusions depending on which scheme is used. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.194.252.172 (talk) 12:50, 10 May 2015 (UTC)
