  4. Introduction to Biostatistics

  5. Definition of Statistics • Different authors have defined statistics differently. The best definition of statistics is given by Croxton and Cowden according to whom statistics may be defined as the science, which deals with collection, presentation, analysis and interpretation of numerical data. • The science and art of dealing with variation in data through collection, classification, and analysis in such a way as to obtain reliable results. —(John M. Last, A Dictionary of Epidemiology ) • Branch of mathematics that deals with the collection, organization, and analysis of numerical data and with such problems as experiment design and decisionmaking.—(Microsoft Encarta Premium 2009)

  6. Definition of Biostatistics= Medical statistics • Biostatistics may be defined as application of statistical methods to medical, biological and public health related problems. • It is the scientific treatment given to the medical data derived from group of individuals or patients • Collection of data. • Presentation of the collected data. • Analysis and interpretation of the results. • Making decisions on the basis of such analysis

  7. Role of Statistics in Clinical Medicine The main theory of statistics lies in the term variability. There is No two individuals are same. For example, blood pressure of person may vary from time to time as well as from person to person.We can also have instrumental variability as well as observers variability. Methods of statistical inference provide largely objective means for drawing conclusions from the data about the issue under study. Medical science is full of uncertainties and statistics deals with uncertainties. Statistical methods try to quantify the uncertainties present in medical science. It helps the researcher to arrive at a scientific judgment abouta hypothesis. It has been argued that decision making is anintegral part of a physician’s work. Frequently, decision making is probability based.

  8. Role of Statistics in Public Health and Community Medicine Statistics finds an extensive use in Public Health and Community Medicine. Statistical methods are foundations for public health administrators to understand what is happening to the population under their care at community level as well as individual level. If reliable information regarding the disease is available, the public health administrator is in a position to: ●● Assess community needs ●● Understand socio-economic determinants of health ●● Plan experiment in health research ●● Analyze their results ●● Study diagnosis and prognosis of the disease for taking effective action ●● Scientifically test the efficacy of new medicines and methods of treatment.

  9. Why we need to study Medical Statistics?Three reasons: (1) Basic requirement of medical research. (2) Update your medical knowledge. (3) Data management and treatment.

  10. Role of statisticians • To guide the design of an experiment or survey prior to data collection • To analyze data using proper statistical procedures and techniques • To present and interpret the results to researchers and other decision makers

  11. I. Basic concepts • Homogeneity: All individuals have similar values or belong to same category. Example: all individuals are Chinese, women, middle age (30~40 years old), work in a computer factory ---- homogeneity in nationality, gender, age and occupation. • Variation: the differences in feature, voice… • Throw a coin: The mark face may be up or down ---- variation! • Treat the patients suffering from pneumonia with same antibiotics: A part of them recovered and others didn’t ---- variation! • If there is no variation, there is no need for statistics. • Many examples of variation in medical field: height, weight,pulse, blood pressure, … …

  12. 2. Population and Sample • Population: The whole collection of individuals that one intends to study. • Sample: A representative part of the population. • Randomization: An important way to make the sample representative.

  13. limited population and limitlesspopulation • All the cases with hepatitis B collected in a hospital in Amman . (limited) • All the deaths found from the permanent residents in a city. (limited) • All the rats for testing the toxicity of a medicine. (limitless)  • All the patients for testing the effect of a medicine. (limitless)  hypertensive, diabetic, …

  14. Random By chance! • Random event: the event may occur or may not occur in one experiment. Before one experiment, nobody is sure whether the event occurs or not. Example: weather, traffic accident, … There must be some regulation in a large number of experiments.

  15. 3. Probability • Measure the possibility of occurrence of a random event. • A : random event • P(A) : Probability of the random event A P(A)=1, if an event always occurs. P(A)=0, if an event never occurs.

  16. Estimation of Probability----Frequency • Number of observations: n (large enough) Number of occurrences of random event A: m f(A) m/n (Frequency or Relative frequency) Example: Throw a coin event: n=100,m (Times of the mark face occurred)=46 m/n=46%, this is the frequency; P(A)=1/2=50%, this is the Probability.

  17. 4. Parameter and Statistic • Parameter : A measure of population or A measure of the distribution of population. Parameter is usually presented by Greek letter. such as μ,π,σ. -- Parameters are unknown usually To know the parameter of a population, we need a sample • Statistic: A measure of sample or A measure of the distribution of sample. Statistic is usually presented by Latin letter such as s , p, t.

  18. 5. Sampling Error error :The difference between observed value and true value. Three kinds of error: (1)Systematic error (fixed) (2)   Measurement error (random) (Observational error) (3) Sampling error (random)

  19. Sampling error • The statistics of different samples from same population: different each other! • The statistics: different from the parameter! The sampling error exists in any sampling research. It can not be avoided but may be estimated.

  20. II. Types of data 1. Numerical Data ( Quantitative Data) • The variable describe the characteristic of individuals quantitatively -- Numerical Data • The data of numerical variable -- Quantitative Data

  21. 2. Categorical Data (Enumeration Data ) • The variable describe the category of individuals according to a characteristic of individuals -- Categorical Data • The number of individuals in each category -- Enumeration Data

  22. Special case of categorical data : Ordinal Data (rank data ) • There exists order among all possible categories. ( level of measurement) -- Ordinal Data • The data of ordinal variable, which represent the order of individuals only -- Rank data

  23. Examples Which type of data they belong to? • RBC (4.58 106/mcL) • Diastolic/systolic blood pressure (8/12 kPa) or ( 80/100 mmHg) • Percentage of individuals with blood type A (20%) (A, B, AB, O) • Protein in urine (++) (－, ±, +, ++, +++) • Incidence rate of breast cancer ( 35/100,000)

  24. III. The Basic Steps of Statistical Work 1. Design of study • Professional design: Research aim Subjects, Measures, etc.

  25. Statistical design: Sampling or allocation method, Sample size, Randomization, Data processing, etc.

  26. 2. Collection of data • Source of data Government report system such as: cholera, plague (black death) … Registration system such as: birth/death certificate … Routine records such as: patient case report … Ad hoc survey such as: influenza A (H1N1) …

  27. Data collection – Accuracy, complete, in time Protocol: Place, subjects, timing; training; pilot; questionnaire; instruments; sampling method and sample size; budget… Procedure: observation, interview, filling form, letter, telephone, web.

  28. 3. Data Sorting • Checking Hand, computer software • Amend • Missing data? • Grouping According to categorical variables (sex, occupation, disease…) According to numerical variables (age, income, blood pressure …)

  29. 4. Data Analysis • Descriptive statistics (show the sample) mean, incidence rate … -- Table and plot • Inferential statistics (towards the population) -- Estimation -- Hypothesis testing (comparison)

  30. About Teaching and Learning • Aim: Training statistical thinking Skill of dealing with medical data. • Emphasize: Essential concepts and statistical thinking -- lectures and practice session Skill of computer and statistical software -- practice session( Excel and SPSS )
