Spearman correlations of .60 are not poor.
For many years, therapists have assumed a relationship between impairment and disability. More recently, researchers have begun to examine this assumption. "Motor Function and Activities of Daily Living Assessments: A Study of Three Tests for Persons With Hemiplegia" by Filiatrault, Arsenault, Dutil, and Bourbonnais (AjOT, September 1991, pp. 806-810) is a laudable example of such an examinatio...
متن کاملHow Many Quantum Correlations Are Not Local?
We study how generic is the property of nonlocality among the set of quantum correlations for bipartite dichotomic measurements. To do so, we consider the characterization of these quantum correlations as those of the form γ = (〈ui, vj〉)i,j=1, where the vectors ui and vj are in the unit sphere of a real Hilbert space. The important parameters in this description are the number of vectors n and ...
متن کاملQualitative Evaluation of Digital Hand X-rays is Not a Reliable Method to Assess Bone Mineral Density
Object: The gold standard for evaluating bone mineral density is dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA). Prior studies have shown poor reliability using analog wrist X-rays in diagnosing osteoporosis. Our goal was to investigate if there was improved diagnostic value to visual assessment of digital hand X-rays in osteoporosis screening. We hypothesized that similar to analog counterparts, dig...
متن کاملDeath certificates are not reliable: revivification of the autopsy.
BACKGROUND Medicine assumes that vital statistics are accurate, but they are only as good as the death certificates. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the accuracy of death certificates in reporting vital statistics with an emphasis on cardiac deaths. DESIGN A population-based retrospective study within one community hospital. PATIENTS During the study period, 1,619 patients expired during hospitaliz...
متن کاملConfidence intervals for correlations when data are not normal.
With nonnormal data, the typical confidence interval of the correlation (Fisher z') may be inaccurate. The literature has been unclear as to which of several alternative methods should be used instead, and how extreme a violation of normality is needed to justify an alternative. Through Monte Carlo simulation, 11 confidence interval methods were compared, including Fisher z', two Spearman rank-...
