49
selection bias
method is not random, results are not representative
50
types of selection bias
```
specific real area
self-selection
pre-screening
exclusion
healthy user
Berkson's fallacy
overmatching
survivorship
```
51
specific real area
neglecting a subset of the population that is not present
52
self-selection
decision whether to participate
53
pre-screening
choosing a subset to prove a hypothesis
54
exclusion
keeping a subset out of the population
55
healthy user
subset better off than the general population
56
Berkson's fallacy
subset less healthy than general population (hospital)
57
overmatching
correlation of data with a confounder as a result of exposure
58
survivorship
only the remaining subjects are selected, neglecting those not left anymore
59
observer bias
subject knows the goals and/or hypotheses of the study
60
demand characteristics
formed interpretation of the purpose of the study
61
information bias (two types)
wrong or inexact recording of variables
measurement error: involves a continuous variable
misclassification: categorical variable
62
confounding variable
extraneous variable that influences the study variable
| placebo effect: pt with a blank treatment experiences health benefits
63
detection bias
systematic differences between groups in terms of treatment (doctor cares better for a test subject)
64
experimenter bias (two types)
errors based on expectations
confirmation bias: more likely to favor information that confirms the hypothesis and to ignore information that denies the hypothesis
reporting bias: systematic difference in what information is reported
65
accuracy
the degree to which a measurement conforms to the standard "correct" value
systematic error
66
precision
relates to the reproducibility or repeatability of the results
random error
67
reliability (two types)
results that are consistent and repeatable
test-retest: test results are consistent over time
inter-rater: degree of consensus among judges
68
validity (two types)
test what it is meant to measure and is done under scientific standards
external: generalizable, extrapolation
internal: justifiable
69
correlation
r^2
| amount of variance in y that is accounted for by x
70
causation
one thing is found to be both necessary and sufficient to cause another
VERY DIFFICULT TO PROVE
71
Hill's criteria (9)
```
temporality
strength
consistency
testable
specificity
plausibility
dose-response relationship
coherence
analogy
```
72
normal distribution
1SD: 68%
2SD: 95%
3SD: 99%
73
probability
assumes outcomes are independent and mutually exclusive
AND: multiply
OR: add
74
directional hypothesis testing
p>alpha, cannot reject Ho
75
non-directional hypothesis testing
p>alpha/2, cannot reject Ho
76
standard error of mean (SEM)
how precisely the mean represents the true population mean
| decreases with increasing population size
77
type I error
claimed different when none existed
78
type II error
no claimed difference when one existed
79
how do you deal with percentages in proportionality
convert to fractions
80
distance
d=rt
81
how is the density of air related to elevation?
density decreases with height
82
is a bird a mammal
no
83
how does a linear relationship change on a semilog plot
it becomes non-linear
