The methods for estimating the proportion of cases due to recent transmission by using cluster analysis are discussed. To use statistical nomenclature, the cases that are successfully typed thus constitute our 'sample' from the 'population' of the sputum confirmed TB subjects. Why would one need a statistical test to compare campaign response rates ??? New York: John Wiley & Sons; 1981:14-15. Fleiss JL: Statistical Methods for Rates and Proportions. However, the proportion successfully typed (sampling rate) is, of course, known. London: MacMillian Education Ltd; 1997. Throughout this discussion the words 'sample' and 'population' will have these specific meanings. Medécins Sans Frontières: Refugee Health: An Approach to Emergency Situations. Actually the study authors cited "Statistical Methods for Rates and Proportions" by Fleiss et al (link), but I wasn't able to get ahold of the book. I mean they'll tell you whether one is statistically . To estimate survival rate as the proportion of parous females in a population using Davidson's method, recruitment must be constant throughout the sampling period. This study concluded that slight difference was found between the positivity rate of HR-HPV infection detected by the HC-II and PCR assay in OSMF and OSCC cases and the HC II assay seemed to have better sensitivity in case of OSCC. I love statistics and always look for ways to incorporate them in my every day work but. Level of agreement was calculated by both absolute agreement and Cohen's kappa statistic (k), a measure of the agreement between two methods in excess of that due to chance [22]. It is certainly true that a blind application and reliance on statistical methods without a good understanding of how to interpret the results can be dangerous - but this is not a failing of the methods.
