    Study Notes

    Biostatistics 5 QA Exam Training

    • ChatGPT Acronym: Generative Pre-trained Transformer
    • Python Library for ChatGPT Deployment: TensorFlow
    • Assumption of Linearity: Ensures predictor and response variables have a linear relationship, residuals are normally distributed, predictors are independent of one another and variance is constant across observations.
    • ChatGPT's Biostatistics Paper Summarization: Validates statistical results, produces concise summaries from abstracts, extracts graphs and charts, runs the code for analysis.
    • Common Errors Using ChatGPT for Statistical Code Generation: Syntax errors, contextual misunderstandings, hardware dependencies, mathematical calculation errors.
    • Key Ethical Consideration in Academia using ChatGPT: Properly acknowledging AI assistance, avoiding sensitive prompts, limiting the use of advanced models and testing the generated code for performance.
    • Effective ChatGPT Prompt Features: Reduces model overfitting, avoids errors and vague responses, optimizes neural network performance.
    • Durbin-Watson Test: Used to detect autocorrelation in regression model residuals.
    • Durbin-Watson Test Values:
      • Value around 2 indicates no autocorrelation
      • Value close to 0 suggests negative autocorrelation
      • Value close to 4 indicates positive autocorrelation.
    • ChatGPT Coding Advantages: Rapid prototyping, suggestions.
    • ChatGPT Least Effective Tasks: Designing complete biostatistical studies.
    • Validating ChatGPT Generated Code: Cross-check with documentation, test in software.

    Further Biostatistics Concepts

    • Dunnett's Test: Compares multiple treatments to each other or a single control group.
    • ANCOVA (Analysis of Covariance): Adjusts for categorical group effects (covariates) to analyze continuous variables.
    • Homogeneity of Regression Slopes (ANCOVA): Ensures identical mean values across groups regarding covariate and dependent variables.
    • Cross-Validation: Evaluates model generalizability by splitting the data.
    • LASSO Regression: Shrinks coefficients to zero for feature selection, uses quadratic penalties to avoid multicollinearity with predictors.
    • Comparing Regression Models (AIC): Lower AIC value indicates a better-fitting model.
    • VIF (Variance Inflation Factor): Measures multicollinearity.
    • VIF Values and Multicollinearity:
      • VIF = 1: Suggest no correlation among predictors
      • VIF > 5: Suggests no perfect independence among predictors
      • VIF > 10: Suggests high multicollinearity among predictors
    • Residual Plots: Identify non-linearity or heteroscedasticity in residuals.
    • Outliers Identification: Large residual values, high VIF values.
    • R-squared Value in Regression Models: Measures the percentage of variance explained by the model.
    • Mixed-Effects Models (Random Effects): Account for variability specific to individual subjects or clusters.
    • PCR (Principal Component Regression): Uses uncorrelated principal components as predictors for high multicollinearity datasets.
    • Scheffé's Method: Compares all possible contrasts of treatment means with a control.
    • Homoscedasticity: Constant variance of residuals across all predictor levels.
    • Independence of Residuals: Ensures multicollinearity is minimised.
    • Q-Q Plots: Evaluate normality of residuals.
    • Multicollinearity Effects: Inflates standard errors of coefficients.
    • AIC Value and Model Selection: Lower AIC value signifies a better-fitting model.
    • Random Effects in Mixed-Effects Models: Accounts for variability and treatment-level effects in individual subjects or clusters.
