  2. Mid-term review • Types of data • Normal distribution • Variance • Standard deviation and z scores • 2 X 2 table • Hypothesis testing H0: HA: • t-test • Pearson r/Linear regression • Chi square

  3. Measurements • Frequency • Incidence • The frequency of new occurrences of disease, injury, or death in the study population during the time being examined. • Prevalence • The number of persons in defined population that had a specified disease or condition • Point prevalence (at a particular point in time.) • Period prevalence (the sum of the point prevalence at the beginning of the interval plus the incidence during the interval.)

  4. Measurements • Frequency • Incidence • Prevalence • Risk • “The proportion of persons who are unaffected at the beginning of a study period but who undergo the risk event during the study period.”

  5. Risk event: • Death • Disease • Injury • Cohort: • Persons at risk for the event .

  6. Measurements • Frequency • Incidence • Prevalence • Risk • “The proportion of persons who are uneffected at the beginning of a study period but who undergo the risk event during the study period.” • Rates • “The frequency of events that occur in a defined time period, divided by the average population at risk.”

  7. Rates Numerator Rate = ------------------- x Constant multiplier The constant multiplier is usually 100, 1000, 10,000 or 100,000. Types of rates Incidence rates (i.e. Per 1000) Prevalence rates (Proportional i.e. 20%) Incidence density (frequency of new events per person time) Denominator

  8. Equations for the most commonly used population data. • (Mortality) Table 1 – 10 p.18 Osborn text • (Morbidity) Table 1 – 11 p. 21 Osborn text

  9. Differential and nondifferential error • Bias is a differential error • A nonrandom, systematic, or consistent error in which the values tend to be inaccurate in a particular direction. • Nondifferential are random errors

  10. Bias • Three most problematic forms of bias in medicine: • 1. Selection (Sampling) Bias: The following are biases that distort results because of the selection process • Admission rate (Berkson’s) bias • Distortions in risk ratios occur as a result of different hospital admission rate among cases with the risk factor, cases without the risk factor, and controls with the risk factor –causing greatly different risk-factor probabilities to interfere with the outcome of interest. • Nonresponse bias • i.e. noncompliance of people who have scheduled interviews in their home. • Lead time bias • A time differential between diagnosis and treatment among sample subjects may result in erroneous attribution of higher survival rates to superior treatment rather than early detection.

  11. Bias • Three most problematic forms of bias in medicine: • 1. Selection (Sampling) Bias • Admission rate (Berkson’s) bias • Nonresponse bias • Lead time bias • 2. Information (misclassification) Bias • Recall bias • Differentials in memory capabilities of sample subjects • Interview bias • “blinding of interviewers to diseased and control subjects is often difficult. • Unacceptability bias • Patients reply with “desirable” answers

  12. Bias • Three most problematic forms of bias in medicine: • 1. Selection (Sampling) Bias • Admission rate (Berkson’s) bias • Nonresponse bias • Lead time bias • 2. Information (misclassification) Bias • Recall bias • Interview bias • Unacceptability bias • 3. Confounding • A confounding variable has a relationship with both the dependent and independent variables that masks or potentiates the effect of the variable on the study.

  13. Neyman bias • “late look bias” if it results in selecting fewer individuals with severe disease because they died before detection. • “length bias” in screening programs which tend to select less aggressive cases for treatment.

  26. Measures of Central Tendency • Mode: the value with the highest number of observations in a data set. • Median: the middle observation when data have been arranged from highest to lowest. • Mean: (arithmetic) the average value of all observed values.  (xi) Mean = x Ni Sum =  Observed values = xi Total number of observations = Ni

  28. Percentiles (quantiles) • The median is the 50% • The 75th percentile is the point where 75% of observations lie below and 25% are above. (3rd quartile, Q3) • The 25th percentile is the point where 25% of observations lie below and 75% are above. (1st quartile, Q1) • Interquartile range (Q3 – Q1)

  32. Theoretical normal (gaussian) distribution •  stands for the mean in a theoretical distribution •  stands for the standard deviation in a theoretical population.

  34. Three Common Areas Under the Curve • Three Normal distributions with different areas

  35. Process of Testing Hypotheses • Test are designed to determine the probability that a finding represents the true deviation from what is expected. • This chapter focuses on the justification for and interpretation of the p value designed to minimized type I error. • Science is based of the following principles: • Previous experience serves as the basis for developing hypotheses; • Hypotheses serve as the basis for developing predictions; • Predictions must be subjected to experimental or observational testing.

  36. Truth Hypothesis testing H0 True H0 False a b Correct Type II Error Accept H0 Decision d c Correct Type I Error Reject H0 Alpha error: rejecting the null H0 when it is true Beta error: accepting the null H0 when it is false

  37. The power of a test: (probability that a test detects differences that actually exist) can be determined by using the formula 1 – beta (1 - ) 80% is usually acceptable

  38. Hypothesis Testing 1. State question in terms of: H0: no difference or relationship (null) Ha: is difference or relationship (alternative) 2. Decide on appropriate research design and statistic • Select significance (alpha) level and “N” • Collect data • Analyze and perform calculation to get P-value • Draw and state conclusions by comparing alpha with P-value

  40. When is a specific test used? Student’s t –test: to compare the means of two small (n < 30) independent samples. Paired t-test: to compare the means of two paired samples (e.g. before and after) F – test: to compare means of three or more samples or groups. Chi-Square test: comparing two or more independent proportions. Correlation coefficient: measures the strength of the association between two variables. Regression analysis: Provides an equation that estimates the change in a dependent variable (y) per unit change in an independent variable (x).
