Estimating the sample mean and standard deviation from the sample size, median, range and/or interquartile range
BACKGROUND In systematic reviews and meta-analysis, researchers often pool the results of the sample mean and standard deviation from a set of similar clinical trials. A number of the trials, however, reported the study using the median, the minimum and maximum values, and/or the first and third quartiles. Hence, in order to combine results, one may have to estimate the sample mean and standard...

متن کاملEstimating the mean and variance from the median, range, and the size of a sample
BACKGROUND Usually the researchers performing meta-analysis of continuous outcomes from clinical trials need their mean value and the variance (or standard deviation) in order to pool data. However, sometimes the published reports of clinical trials only report the median, range and the size of the trial. METHODS In this article we use simple and elementary inequalities and approximations in ...
متن کاملMean Anisocoria ± Standard Deviation ( Range ) ( mm )
69 ABSTRACT PURPOSE: To report the incidence of anisocoria after unilateral excimer laser photorefractive kera-tectomy (PRK) for myopia and subsequent cortico-steroid therapy in a retrospective and prospective study and to explore possible etiologies. METHODS: The horizontal pupil diameter was determined in 6 patients (6 eyes) at 21.8 ± 12.6 months after unilateral wide-field excimer laser PRK ...
متن کاملcomparison of estimators of standard deviation, mean moving range and median moving range to estimate process standard deviation using autocorrelated data
independence of observations is a fundamental assumption in designing an x chart for individual observations. but unfortunately, the assumption of existence of independent data is not even approximately satisfied. in fact, there is one kind of autocorrelation in the data. this paper demonstrates, through simulating an ar(1) process, that the autocorrelation in the data has deep effect on x char...
