Types of random variables - ANSWER Discrete (nominal, ordinal);
Continuous (interval, ratio)

order, no indication of relative severity, no numerical or quantitate value.
Ex. sex (M/F), mortality (dead/alive), disease presence (Y/N), race, marital status


Ordinal variable - ANSWER ranked in a specific ORDER but no consistent
magnitude.
Ex. NYHA class, severity scores, disease classes


Continuous variables - ANSWER take any value within a given range, counting
variables, quantitative values
Two types: interval and ratio

, Interval variable - ANSWER values ranked in a specific order with a consistent
change in magnitude between units, NO absolute zero
Ex. temperature (F)


Ratio variable - ANSWER values ranked in a specific order with a consistent change
in magnitude between units, Absolute zero
Ex. temperature (kelvin), heart rate, BP, time, distance, height, weight


Types of statistics - ANSWER Descriptive and inferential


Descriptive statistics - ANSWER Describes numerically/visually the data collected
from the study, confined to the study population only.
Ex. mean, median, mode

Median - ANSWER Midpoint, aka 50th percentile, used for continuous or ordinal
data, insensitive to outliers


Mode - ANSWER used for nominal, ordinal, or continuous. can have more than
one (bimodal, trimodal). does not describe meaningful distribution with a large
range of values.


Standard deviation - ANSWER measure of variability about the mean; square root
of the variance (average squared difference of each observation from the mean);
1SD=68% of sample values, 2SD=95%, 3SD=99%.
