  • Sampling
    • Samples are subsets of the population

  • Probability

    • Numerical value between 0 and 1
  • Mean
    • The average value of a data set
  • Median
    • The middle value of a set of data which has been arranged in order of magnitude
  • Mode
    • The most frequent value in a data set
  • Standard Deviation
    • Quantifies the variability of values from the mean
  • Standard Error
    • Measures the accuracy of the sample mean to the population mean
  • Correlation Coefficient
    • The strength of linear relationship between two variables
  • Confidence Interval
    • A range of values defined that there is a specific probability that the true value of a parameter lies within it
  • Number Needed to Treat
    • The estimated number of patients that need to be treated to impact one patient
  • P‐value
    • The primary goal of any statistical test/analysis is to determine if a result is statistically significant which is done by a p‐value
    • A p‐value less than 0.05 is generally considered statistically significant
