61
Q

Describe KDD for data analysis.

A

Knowledge Discovery in Database (KDD) is a method by which to identify patterns and relationships in large amounts of data, such as the identification of risk factors or the effectiveness of interventions. It may use data perturbation (the hiding of confidential information) while maintaining basic information in the database, and data mining.

  3. transforming data
  4. data mining
  5. interpreting results
63
Q

What is data mining?

Provide an example of data mining application.

A

the often automatic analysis of large amounts of data to identify underlying or hidden patterns. It may identify similar groupings in data and then that data can be further analyzed.
Example: It may be applied to multiple patients’ electronic health records to generate information about the need for further examination or interventions.

64
Q

What are the 6 steps of data mining?

A
  1. detecting anomalies
  2. identifying relationships

  1. Mean - the average number. (Adding the numbers and dividing by the amount of numbers used)
  2. Median - the 50th percentile or middle number. (If there is an even number of numbers, the middle two are added and divided by 2 ).
    Mode - the number occurring with the highest frequency. There may be bimodal and trimodal numbers
66
Q

Define measures of distribution.

A

Show the spread or dispersion of data.

67
Q

Name 3 measures of distribution.

68
Q

Describe range as a measure of distribution.

What does the term interquartile denote?

A

Range - distance from the highest to the lowest number. It is usually reported with the median to provide information about both the center point and the dispersion.
Interquartile denotes the range between the 25th percentile and the 75th percentile.

69
Q

Describe variance as a measure of distribution.

A

Variance - measures the distribution spread around an average value and is often used to calculate the effect of variables.

70
Q

A

68% of the data are within 1 standard deviation (measured distance of the mean), 95% of the data are within 2 standard deviations of the mean, and 99.7% of the data are within 3 standard deviations of the mean.

74
Q

Define the Chi-square test.

Give an example.

A

A method to compare rates or ratios to establish if a variance in categorical data (as opposed to numerical data) is of statistical significance. Generally used to show whether there is a significant difference between groups or conditions being analyzed.
Example: Compare the rates of surgical infections after two types of surgical procedures

75
Q

Define the t test.

Give an example.

A

The t test is used to analyze data to determine if there is a statistically significant difference in the means of both groups. It examines two sets of data that are similar.
Example - Average of miles walked each week by women over 65 with breast cancer as compared to women over 65 who do not have breast cancer.

76
Q

Define regression analysis.

A

Used to evaluate data sets found in scattergrams and compares the relationship between the dependent variable and the independent variable to determine if the relationship correlates. The relationship is indicated by the correlation coefficient (r), which ranges from 1 to + or -1.

77
Q

What does a correlation coefficient of -1 in a regression analysis indicate?

A

-1 indicates a negative relationship in which one data set increases, and the other data set decreases

78
Q

What does a correlation coefficient of +1 in a regression analysis indicate?

A

+1 indicates there is a positive relationship in which both data sets increase or decrease, in which case the scattergram forms a straight line.

79
Q

Describe the degrees of which the data points on a scattergram form a straight line.

A

Strong correlation - clearly form a straight line
Moderate correlation - Loosely structured line
No correlation - no line

83
Q

Define specificity in data analysis.

A

Specificity - Data includes only those cases specific to the needs of the measurement, excluding those from a different population thereby decreasing the number of false positives.

84
Q

Define stratification in data analysis.

A

Stratification - Data are classified according to subsets, taking variables into consideration.

85
Q

Define recordability in data analysis.

A

The tool/indicator collects and measures the necessary data.
