In randomized controlled trials spurious differences in the distributions of background factors can emerge due to random variation especially with small sample sizes.
Note that trials within the created data stream were separated by a sufficient amount of not-a-numbers (NaNs), i.e. p+1 (15+1) number of NaNs preventing spurious correlations between trials.
But Mr Bennett is still facing trial on equally spurious terrorism charges next month.
"Aung San Suu Kyi's continued detention, isolation, and show trial based on spurious charges cast serious doubt on the Burmese regime's willingness to be a responsible member of the international community," he said in a statement.

We standardised male attractiveness (z-transformation) within trials to prevent differences in mean female responsiveness among trials from generating spurious correlations.
For example, if clinicians tended to prescribe sertraline to patients who had experienced myocardial infarction on the basis of the SADHART or SADHART-CHF trials, 29 30 a spurious association between sertraline and QT prolongation might be observed.
However, inappropriate subgroup analysis of trial data can give spurious evidence for stratified medicine.
