What you will learn • Descriptive statistics • frequency distributions • contingency tables • measures of location: mean, median, mode • measures of dispersion: variance, standard deviation, range, interquartile range • coefficient of variation • graphical presentation: histogram, box-plot, scatter plot • correlation

Counting and displaying data After we have collected our data, we need to display them (tables, graphics and figures) Raw enumeration(eg lesion length by visual estimation in patients treated in Endeavor II trial: 14-27 mm) …

Frequency distribution A frequency distribution is a list of the values that a variable takes in a sample. It is usually a list, ordered by quantity, showing the number of times each value appears
Frequency distribution A frequency distribution is a list of the values that a variable takes in a sample. It is usually a list, ordered by quantity, showing the number of times each value appears This introduces the concept of percentage or rate
Frequency distribution ENDEAVOR III, JACC 2006
Frequency distribution This simple tabulation has drawbacks. When a variable can take continuous values instead of discrete values or when the number of possible values is too large, the table construction is cumbersome, if not impossible
Frequency distribution A slightly different tabulation scheme based on the range of values can be a solution in such cases However better solutions are coming later…

Measures of central tendency: rationale We need to describe the kind of values that we have (eg lesion length by visual estimation in patients treated in Endeavor II trial: 14-27 mm) Raw enumeration …
Mean (arithmetic) • Characteristics: • -summarises information well • -discards a lot of information(dispersion??) • Assumptions: • -data are not skewed • distorts the mean • outliers make the mean very different • -Measured on measurement scale • cannot find mean of a categorical measure • ‘average’ stent diameter may be meaningless

Median • What is it? • The one in the middle • Place values in order • Median is central • Definition: • Equally distant from all other values • Used for: • Ordinal data • Skewed data / outliers
Mode • What is it? • Definition: • The most common value • Used (rarely) for: • Discrete non interval data • E.g. stent length, stent diameter………… • MicroDriver is only available in 2.25, 2.50, 2.75 reporting the mean is meaningless

Measures of dispersion: rationale • Central tendency doesn’t tell us everything • We need to know about the spread, or dispersion of the scores • Is there a difference? And if yes, how big is it? • We can only tell if we know data dispersion Late loss(mm) Group Endeavor 0.61 Driver 1.03 ENDEAVOR II, Circulation 2006

Measures of dispersion: types • Standard deviation (SD) • Used with mean • Parametric tests • Range • First to last value • Not commonly used • Interquartile range • Used with median • 25% (1/4) to 75% (3/4) percentile • Non-parametric tests
