Study Notes

General Biostatistics

Biostatistics is a science dealing with the development and application of methods appropriate for data collection, presentation, analysis, and interpretation, mainly in medical and biological research.
Biostatisticians guide experiment/survey design, analyze data using appropriate techniques, and interpret results for decision-making.
Data is the raw material of biostatistics, including measurements and responses (e.g., HIV status, CD4 count).

Study Types

Observational studies simply observe what happens without researcher intervention.
- Cross-sectional: all subjects observed at one time point.
- Longitudinal: subjects observed at multiple time points.
Experimental studies involve researcher intervention, such as applying different treatments to different groups and comparing outcomes.
- Randomized controlled trials are a type of experimental study where subjects are randomly assigned to groups.

Sampling

Sampling is a method for selecting a subset of a population to collect data.
Probability sampling ensures all individuals have an equal chance of selection, while convenience sampling involves the researcher selecting individuals based on convenience.
Sampling error is a difference between a sample's statistic and the true population parameter.
This error can be reduced by increasing the sample size, randomization, and stratification (for heterogeneous populations).

Variables

Numerical variables are continuous (infinitely divisible) or discrete (indivisible categories).
Categorical variables are ordinal (ordered categories) or nominal (unordered categories).

Statistical Measures

Descriptive statistics summarize data, including measures of location (mean, median, mode), dispersion (standard deviation, interquartile range), and skewness.
Inferential statistics allow for making conclusions about a larger population based on a sample.
Point estimates are single numbers, while confidence intervals include a range of possible values along with a confidence level expressing the probability that the true value falls within the range.
