Estimation of authenticity of
results of statistical
research

The necessity estimation of authenticity of
results is determined by volume of
research. In full research (general
aggregate), when all units of supervision
are explored it is possible to get only one
value of certain index. The general
aggregate is always reliable because in it
included her all units of supervision are
included. General aggregate official
statistics can exemplify.

The general aggregate is rarely used in
medical-biologic research, mainly part of
researches is selective. The law of large
numbers is basis for forming of reliable
selective aggregate. It sounds so: it is
possible to assert with large authenticity,
that at achievement of large number of
supervisions average of sign, which is
studied in a selective aggregate will be a
little to differ from an average which is
studied at all general aggregate.

The selective aggregate always has errors,
because not all units of supervision are
included in research. Authenticity of
selective research depends from the size
of this error. That is why greater number of
supervisions, teed to less error, the less
sizes of casual vibrations of index. That, to
decrease an error it is needed to multiply
the number of supervisions.
Basic criteria of authenticity
(representation):
Error of representation (w)
 Confiding scopes
 The coefficient of authenticity (the student
criterion) is authenticity of difference of
middle or relative sizes (t)

Basic criteria of authenticity
(representation):

The errors of representation of /m/ are the
degree of authenticity of average or
relative value shows how much the results
of selective research differ from results
which it is possible to get from continuous
study of general aggregate.
Basic criteria of authenticity
(representation):

Confiding scopes – properties of
selective aggregate are carried on general
one, probability oscillation of index is
shown in the general aggregate, its
extreme values of minimum and maximal
possibility, which the size of general
aggregate can be within the limits of.
Basic criteria of authenticity
(representation):

The coefficient of authenticity (the
Student’s criterion) is authenticity of
difference of middle or relative sizes (t).
The student’s Criterion shows the
difference of the proper indexes in two
separate selective aggregates.
The use of averages in health
protection

for description of work organization of
health protection establishments (middle
employment of bed, term of stay in
permanent establishment, amount of visits
on one habitant and other);
The use of averages in
health protection

for description of indices of physical
development (length, mass of body,
circumference of head of new-born and
other);
The use of averages in
health protection

for determination of medical-physiology
indices of organism (frequency of pulse,
breathing, level of arterial pressure and
other);
The use of averages in
health protection

for estimation of these medical-social and
sanitary-hygienic researches (middle
number of laboratory researches, middle
norms of food ration, level of radiation
contamination and others).
Averages

Averages are widely used for comparison in
time, that allows to characterize the major
conformities to the law of development of the
phenomenon. So, for example, conformity to
the law of growth increase of certain age
children finds the expression in the
generalized indices of physical development.
Conformities to the law of dynamics (increase
or diminishment) of pulse rate, breathing,
clinical parameters at the certain diseases
find the display in statistical indices which
represent the physiology parameters of
organism and other.
Average Values


Mean:  the average of the data
 sensitive to outlying data
Median:  the middle of the data
 not sensitive to outlying data
Mode:  most commonly occurring value
Range:  the difference between the largest observation and
the smallest
Interquartile range:  the spread of the data
 commonly used for skewed data
Standard deviation:  a single number which measures how much
the observations vary around the mean
Symmetrical data:  data that follows normal distribution
 (mean=median=mode)
 report mean & standard deviation & n
Skewed data:  not normally distributed
 (meanmedianmode)
 report median & IQ Range
Average Values

Limit is it is the meaning of edge variant
in a variation row
lim = Vmin Vmax
Average Values

Amplitude is the difference of edge
variant of variation row
Am = Vmax - Vmin
Average Values

Average quadratic deviation
characterizes dispersion of the variants
around an ordinary value (inside
structure of totalities).

Average quadratic deviation
is needed for:
1. Estimations of typicalness of the middle
arithmetic (М is typical for this row, if σ is less
than 1/3 of average) value.
2. Getting the error of average value.
3. Determination of average norm of the
phenomenon, which is studied (М±1σ), sub
norm (М±2σ) and edge deviations (М±3σ).
4. For construction of sigmal net at the
estimation of physical development of an
individual.

of variation is the
relative measure of variety; it
is a percent correlation of
standard deviation and
arithmetic average.
Terms Used To Describe The
Quality Of Measurements
Reliability is variability between subjects
divided by inter-subject variability plus
measurement error.
 Validity refers to the extent to which a test
or surrogate is measuring what we think it
is measuring.

Measures Of Diagnostic Test
Accuracy




Sensitivity is defined as the ability of the test to identify
correctly those who have the disease.
Specificity is defined as the ability of the test to identify
correctly those who do not have the disease.
Predictive values are important for assessing how
useful a test will be in the clinical setting at the individual
patient level. The positive predictive value is the
probability of disease in a patient with a positive test.
Conversely, the negative predictive value is the
probability that the patient does not have disease if he
has a negative test result.
Likelihood ratio indicates how much a given diagnostic
test result will raise or lower the odds of having a disease
relative to the prior probability of disease.
Measures Of Diagnostic Test
Accuracy
Expressions Used When
Making Inferences About Data

Confidence Intervals
- The results of any study sample are an estimate of the true value
in the entire population. The true value may actually be greater or
less than what is observed.



Type I error (alpha) is the probability of incorrectly
concluding there is a statistically significant difference in
the population when none exists.
Type II error (beta) is the probability of incorrectly
concluding that there is no statistically significant
difference in a population when one exists.
Power is a measure of the ability of a study to detect a
true difference.
Multivariable Regression
Methods


Multiple linear regression is used when the
outcome data is a continuous variable such as
weight. For example, one could estimate the
effect of a diet on weight after adjusting for the
effect of confounders such as smoking status.
Logistic regression is used when the outcome
data is binary such as cure or no cure. Logistic
regression can be used to estimate the effect of
an exposure on a binary outcome after adjusting
for confounders.
Survival Analysis


Kaplan-Meier analysis measures the ratio of
surviving subjects (or those without an event)
divided by the total number of subjects at risk for
the event. Every time a subject has an event, the
ratio is recalculated. These ratios are then used
to generate a curve to graphically depict the
probability of survival.
Cox proportional hazards analysis is similar to
the logistic regression method described above
with the added advantage that it accounts for
time to a binary event in the outcome variable.
Thus, one can account for variation in follow-up
time among subjects.
