摘要
This communication demonstrates that improperly formulated data analyses can inflate the strength of statistical correlations and result in drawing incorrect conclusions. The widespread misuse of a second-order kinetic model in the recent literature reveals that many chemists are not aware of the dangers of spurious correlation.
