Equality, equity, diversity, and inclusion principles: how should we apply these to statistical methodology research?

Embedding EDI principles throughout statistical methodology research will improve its relevance and quality, better serve the public, and build public trust. It is essential that statistical methodologists strive towards equity in all aspects of their work. This paper demonstrates the value of the NIHR RDS EDI toolkit for statistical methodology research and encourages methodologists to adopt the recommendations in this paper. Further extensions to this work are needed to seek the wider views and experiences of statistical methodologists and public contributors from diverse and under-represented groups.

Abstract

Embedding EDI principles throughout statistical methodology research will improve its relevance and quality, better serve the public, and build public trust. It is essential that statistical methodologists strive towards equity in all aspects of their work. This paper demonstrates the value of the NIHR RDS EDI toolkit for statistical methodology research and encourages methodologists to adopt the recommendations in this paper. Further extensions to this work are needed to seek the wider views and experiences of statistical methodologists and public contributors from diverse and under-represented groups.
