CIC to review: Stats and Epi Flashcards
Chart used to compare values across multiple groups
Bar
Types of data used for bar graph
1 Q
1 C
Chart used to examine distribution of quantitative variable by splitting it into multiple groups
Histogram
Data types for histogram
2Q (one displayed as groups)
Bars represent mutually exclusive groups
Chart used to show changes over time
Line chart
Types of data for line chart
1Q, 1C
Charts used to show how each category contributes to the whole
Pareto
Pie
Types of data for pareto chart
1 Q, 1 C
Types of data for a pie chart
1Q, q C
Chart used to look for correlation between variables
Scatterplot
Data types of scatterplot
2Q
Attributable proportion
RR-1 / RR
Measure of extent to which the distributions of possible results under the research hypothesis and null hypothesis do not overlap
Effect size
subset of sample statistics used to estimate a point characteristic of the population (eg it’s central tendency) rather than it’s dispersion (range, variance, etc)
Point estimate
way of assessing how much independent information is available from you data to estimate the parameter or determine the shape of the distribution
degrees of freedom
Using false positive- what happens if p <= alpha?
the risk of a false positive is acceptable, we reject the null hypothesis and conclude a statistically significant difference exists
Type 1 error
alpha- false positive
Type 2 error
beta- false negative
parametric tests used to determine whether two or more groups differ from each other based on the variability of values within each group versus the variability of values bewtween the groups
ANOVA
A nonparametric test used to evaluate how close the observed counts are for a single variable to those expected if the data fit a specific distribution
Chi square goodness of fit test
A nonparametric test used to determine how different the observed counts are from those expected if there is now association between the tested variables
Chi square test of association (AKA pearson’s chi square or chi-square test for independence)
Tests measuring the strength and direction of the relationship between two quantitative variables
Correlation
Parametric correlation
Pearson’s correlation
Nonparametric correlation
Spearmans
