Term

I got a negative result on my HIV test. Am I really HIV negative?

The value that indicates this probability is:

Prevlance affects this value in what manner?

The formula for this value is:

Definition

Negative Predictive Value

True negatives out of all negative test results.

LOWER when prevalence of disease is high.

d/(c+d)

Term

My HIV test was positive. Do I really have HIV?

The value that indicates this probability is:

It is higher when prevalence of disease is ____.

The formula for this value is:

Definition

Positive Predictive Value

Proportion of all positive tests that are truly positive.

HIGHER when the prevalence is high.

a/(a+b)

[image]

Term

Odds Ratios are used in ____ studies.

They approximate relative risk if disease prevalence is __.

The formula for Odds Ratio is___.

Definition

case-control studies

low

a/b

c/d

(odds of having disease in exposed group/odds of having disease in non exposed group)

 [image]

Term

Relative risk is used in ____ studies.

The formula for relative risk is _____.

Definition

Cohort studies

a/(a+b)

c/(c+d)

[image]

Term

This value indicates whether a test will detect a disease when it is present.

 A value of 1 or 100% indicates___.

A test with a high number for this value is useful for ___.

Definition

sensitivity

No false negatives, i.e. no one with the disease will be undetected

screening

Term

Specificity is:

A value of 1 or 100% would indicate:

A test with a high specificity would be used for:

The formula (s) for specificity is/are:

Definition

Ability of a test to indicate when a person does not have a disease.

Low false positive rate

Confirmatory testing

d/(b+d)

1-false positive rate

[image]

 

Term
The formula (s) for sensitivity is/are___.
Definition

a/(a+c)

1-false negative rate

[image]

 

Term

When the mean is greater than the median and/or mode the distribution has a ____. 

This looks like ____.

What value would better measure central tendency in this case?

Definition

Positive skew.

[image]

The median.

 

Term

When the mode and median are greater than the mean the distribution has a ___.

It looks like ____.

A better measure of central tendency in this case would be ___.

Definition

Negative skew

[image]

the median.

Term
What central tendency measure is least affected by outliers in the data?
Definition
the mode
Term

This error is when you find a difference that does not exist, aka you reject the null hypothesis.

This value represence the proability of this error.

Definition

Type 1 error or α

p value

Term
This type of error is when you "miss" a difference that exists, aka you did not reject the null hypothesis but should have.
Definition
Type II error or β
Term

The formula for power is____.

Power is the porbability of_____.

It depends on 3 things:

Definition

1-β

rejecting the null hypothesis when you should because it is false (ability to detect a difference if it's present)

1. number of end points (n)

2. difference in compliance between treatment groups (differences in the means)

3. Size of the expected effect (detecting a greater effect requires more power, such as a drug produces an increase in 20 years of life vs increase in 1 year of life)

Term

The formula for standard error of the mean (SEM) is:

 

Definition

SEM=standard deviation (σ)

√sample size (n)

 

Term

The formula for confidence interval is:

It indicates:

When used for a mean, if it crosses 0 this indicates:

When used for RR or OR, if it crosses 1 this indicates

Definition

mean-Z(SEM) to mean + Z(SEM)

Z = 2 for 95% CI

   =3 for 99% CI

CI indicates how confident you are the true mean lies within the value you obtained in your study.

For both- that null hypothesis cannot be rejected- groups not significantly different.
