Abstract

There is wide evidence of the misuse of statistics in the field of factual sciences. In part, the problem is due to the lack of knowledge outside the statistical field of what statistics is, what its method is, and what qualification must have a person who carries out research, teaching or statistical advice. This work defines what statistics is as well as what a statistician is in the framework of contemporary science, reviews the status of statistics as a regulated profession in the world and proposes ways for Statistics to become a regulated profession in Spain.
