Q

Systematic Random Sample

A
  • Determine number of elements needed
  • Divide population by sample number desired = “k”
  • List and number elements
  • RANDOMLY select start point
  • Select every K-th element within groups

Q

Cluster

A
Cluster = groups of elements
Multistage = listing and sampling

**increases sampling error potential - two samples double the error opportunity!

new ppl w disease/ 3 of ppl at risk (make sure to subtract ppl who previously contracted the disease)

28
Q

Attack Rate

A

new cases/ # of ppl exposed

29
Q

Secondary Attack Rate

A

new cases / (# exposed - # of primary cases)

34
Q

CER

A

Control Event Rate = proportion of control with bad outcomes

35
Q

EER

A

Experimental Event Rate = proportion of experimental with bad outcomes

36
Q

Absolute Risk

A

Difference btw CER and EER

37
Q

ARR

A

When CER > EER

Increased rate of adverse outcomes in control group

38
Q

ARI

A

When CER

39
Q

Relative Risk

A

EER/CER

40
Q

Relative Risk Reduction/Increase

A

1 - RR

41
Q

Number Needed to Treat (NNT)

A

NNT = 1/ARR

42
Q

Number Needed to Harm (NNH)

A

NNH = 1/ARI

43
Q

Nominal Measurement

A

Measures a mere difference

your hometowns

44
Q

Ordinal Measurement

A

Measures differences + rank order

(Place finish in race- first, second, third)

Socioeconomic status- low or high

45
Q

Interval Measurement

A

Measures difference + rank order + equal distances between values of variable

(Temp)

Does not have true meaningful zero, even when it is 0 degrees outside, there is still a temperature

46
Q

Ratio Measurement

A

Measures differences + rank order + equal distances between values of the variable + true meaningful zero point

(Height & weight)

47
Q

Categorical measurements

A

Nominal

Ordinal

48
Q

Continuous measurements

A

Interval

Ratio

49
Q

If you have 2 categorical measurements, what statistical test would you use?

A

Chi-squared

50
Q

If you have one nominal and one interval-ratio measurement, what test would you use?

A

T-test

51
Q

What is an odds ratio?

A

The “odds” that some outcome would occur in the presence of a predictor vs. absence of the predictor

52
Q

Odds ratio > 1

A

Exposure associated with higher odds of outcome

53
Q

Odds ratio

A

Exposure associated with lower odds of outcome

54
Q

Odds ratio = 1

A

Exposure does not affect odds of outcome

55
Q

How do you calculate odds ratio?

A

AD/BC
