Biostatistics: Revealing analysis
David Alexander's job didn't exist ten years ago. He works for Pacific Biosciences in Menlo Park, California, writing software that can analyse the data generated by DNA polymerase enzymes, which sequence DNA in real time. A decade ago, it took scientists weeks to sequence DNA, one base at a time, using a seemingly endless series of reactions. Back then, they also thought that they would be abl...
متن کاملBiostatistics 104: correlational analysis.
If both height and weight are normally distributed, we use the Pearson’s correlation; otherwise Spearman’s correlation coefficient will be presented. Spearman’s correlation is also applicable for two categorical ordinal variables like pain intensity (no, mild, moderate, severe) with burn-surface-area (< 10%, 10% 19%, 20% 29%, ≥ 30%). Table I shows the correlation coefficient between height and ...
متن کاملBiostatistics 203. Survival analysis.
Since survival time is a quantitative variable, why can’t we just use the usual techniques from Table I? Before we explain the main reason why we use survival analysis, let’ us consider a simple example on the survival times (in months) for 25 lung cancer patients who all died; the timings are : 1, 5, 6, 6, 9, 10, 10, 10, 12, 12, 12, 12, 12, 13, 15, 16, 20, 24, 24, 27, 32, 34, 36, 36, 44 months...
متن کاملBiostatistics 303. Discriminant analysis.
In this article, it was planned that we shall discuss Discriminant and Cluster analysis. While preparing the discussions for both topics, there was an overwhelming large amount of information and thus we shall concentrate on Discriminant analysis only and leave Cluster analysis to Biostatistics 304. Discriminant analysis (DA) was the traditional statistical technique used for differentiating gr...
متن کاملBiostatistics 304. Cluster analysis.
In Cluster analysis, we seek to identify the “natural” structure of groups based on a multivariate profile, if it exists, which both minimises the within-group variation and maximises the between-group variation. The objective is to perform data reduction into manageable bite-sizes which could be used in further analysis or developing hypothesis concerning the nature of the data. It is explorat...
