BIOSTATISTICS * Effect modification: effect of the main exposure on the outcome is affected by another variable. It is NOT a bias! * Case-control study: also known as retrospective study. Divided into “cases” and “controls.” If disease is rare‚ the odds ratio will approximate the relative risk (following subjects over time.) * Cohort study (Retrospective or prospective): divided into “exposed” and “non-exposed.” Study subjects are free of the outcome at the time the study begins

After completing the "Applying ANOVA and Nonparametric tests" simulation‚ I realize there were a few things to take into consideration when analyzing a problem. This particular exercise wanted to know the differences and causes of the variation. In order to resolved the solution‚ an individual or whoever is conducting the analysis will need to know what type of test to used‚ decide if the null hypothesis should be rejected or not‚ and make recommendation based on the collected data.

DISCUSSION The present study was undertaken to estimate the specificity‚ sensitivity and predictive validity of measurements obtained with the Alberta Infant Motor Scale (AIMS) for evaluation of preterm high risk infants. The present study included two scales i.e. the Alberta infant motor scale and the Peabody developmental motor scale – 2 (PDMS – 2) on high risk infants at 3 months‚ 6 months and 12 months of age. For the purpose of comparing the AIMS scale‚ the PDMS -2 scale was used as the gold
