STATISTICS
STATISTICS AS A SINGULAR NOUN IS “A
SCIENCE OF FIGURES”
WHERE AS PLURAL NOUN IT MEANS
“FIGURES” OR NUMERICAL DATA OR
INFORMATION.

BIOSTATISTICS
BIOSTATISTICS CAN BE DEFINED AS ART
AND SCIENCE OF COLLECTION,
COMPILATION, PRESENTATION, ANALYSIS
AND LOGICAL INTERPRETATION OF
BIOLOGICAL DATA AFFECTED BY
MULTIPLICITY OF FACTORS statistics”
“An ounce of truth produces tons of

STATISTICS
THE WORD STATISTIK IS DERIVED FROM
AN ITALIAN WORD STATISTA MEANING
STATESMAN.
GOTTFRED CHENWALL, A PROFESSOR AT
MARLBOROUGH USED THIS WORD FOR
THE FIRST TIME.
ZIMMERMAN INTRODUCED THE WORD
STATISTICS INTO ENGLAND.

HISTORY OF
STATISTICS
DURING THE OUTBREAK OF PLAGUE IN
ENGLAND, IN 1532 THEY STARTED
PUBLISHING THE WEEKLY DEATH
STATISTICS.THIS PRACTICE CONTINUED AND
BY 1632, THESE BILLS OF MORTALITY, LISTED
BIRTHS AND DEATHS BY SEX

HISTORY OF
STATISTICS..
IN 1662, CAPT.JOHN GRAUNT USED 30
YEARS OF THESE BILLS TO MAKE
PREDICTIONS ABOUT THE NUMBER
OF PEOPLE WHO WOULD DIE FROM
VARIOUS DISEASES AND
PROPORTIONS AF MALE AND FEMALE
BIRTHS THAT COULD BE EXPECTED.

KNOWLEDGE OF STATISTICAL
METHODS

1. ENABLES US TO MAKE INTELLIGENT USE OF
THE CURRENT LITERATURE.
2. OPENS UP NEW PATHS OF EXPERIMENTAL
PROCEDURES
3. ENABLES A RESEARCH WORKER TO COLLECT,
ANALYZE AND PRESENT HIS DATA IN THE
MOST MEANINGFUL AND EXPEDITIOUS
MANNER.
4. ALLOWS A BIOINFORMATICS PROFESSIONAL
USE STATISTICAL www.indiandentalacademy.com A
SOFTWARES IN

LIMITATIONS
STATISTIC LAWS ARE NOT EXACT LAWS LIKE
MATHEMATICAL OR CHEMICAL LAWS BUT
ARE ONLY TRUE IN MAJORITY OF CASES.
EX: WHEN WE SAY THAT THE AVERAGE
HEIGHT OF AN ADULT INDIAN IS 5’ 6’’ , IT
INDICATES THE HEIGHT NOT OF INDIVIDUAL
BUT OF A GROUPwww.indiandentalacademy.com
OF INDIVIDUALS.

SUBDIVISIONS OF
STATISTICS
THEY CAN BE SEPERATED INTO TWO
BROAD CATEGORIES:
1. DESCRIPTIVE STATISTICS
2. INFERENTIAL STATISTICS

DAT
A
WHENEVER AN OBSERVATION IS MADE, IT
WILL BE RECORDED AND A COLLECTIVE
RECORDING OF THESE OBSERVATIONS,
EITHER NUMERICAL OR OTHERWISE, IS
CALLED A DATA.
EX: RECORDING THE SEX OF A PERSON IN A
GROUP OF PERSONS

VARIABLE
IN EACH OF CASES A CERTAIN
OBSERVATION IS MADE FOR A
CHARACTERISTIC AND THIS
CHARACTERISTICS VARIES FROM ONE
OBSERVATION TO OTHER OBSERVATION
AND IS CALLED A www.indiandentalacademy.com

TYPES OF DATA
I. QUALITATIVE / QUANTITATIVE
II. DISCRETE / CONTINUOUS
III. GROUPED / UNGROUPED
IV.PRIMARY / SECONDARY
V. NOMINAL / ORDINAL

TYPES OF CLINICAL DATA THAT
CAN BE SUPPORTED BY
STATISTICS
STATISTICS CAN BE USED TO HELP THE
READER MAKE A CRITICAL EVALUATION OF
VIRTUALLY ANY QUANTITATIVE DATA.
IT IS IMPORTANT THAT THE STATISTICAL
TECHNIQUES USED ARE APPROPRIATE FOR
THE GIVEN EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN.

NEED FOR ORGANISING THE
DATA

2. PROSPECTIVE SURVEYS
3. FOLLOW UP STUDIES
4. CROSS SECTIONAL
SURVEYS
5. PROPHYLACTIC TRIALS
6. THERAPEUTIC TRIALS

COHORT
STUDY
SUBJECTS ARE DIVIDED INTO GROUPS
DEPENDING ON PRESENCE OR ABSENCE OF
A RISK FACTOR AND THEN FOLLOWED UP
FOR A PERIOD OF TIME TO FIND OUT
WHETHER THEY DEVELOP THE DISEASE OR
NOT. THIS IS PROSPECTIVE RESEARCH.

TROHOC STUDY
THE STUDY IS DESIGNED TO INVESTIGATE
THE ASSOCIATION BETWEEN A FACTOR AND
A DISEASE.THESE STUDIES ARE KNOWN AS
TROHOC STUDY. SINCE THESE FORM A
RETROSPECTIVE INVESTIGATION i.e.
OPPOSITE OF A COHORT STUDY.

INTERVENTIONAL
STUDIES

THESE ARE ALSO KNOWN AS EXPERIMENTAL
STUDIES OR CLINICAL TRIALS. IN THESE
STUDIES THE INVESTIGATOR DECIDES
WHICH SUBJECT GETS EXPOSED TO A
PARTICULAR TREATMENT (OR PLACEBO).
THESE STUDIES MAY BE COHORT OR CASECONTROL.

EXPERIMENTAL VARIABILITY
ERROR/ DIFFERENCE /
VARIATION
THERE ARE THREE TYPES
1. OBSERVER-subjective / objective
2. INSTRUMENTAL
3. SAMPLING DEFECTS OR ERROR OF BIAS

BIAS IN THE SAMPLE
THIS IS ALSO CALLED AS SYSTEMATIC
ERROR. THIS OCCURS WHEN THERE IS A
TENDENCY TO PRODUCE RESULTS THAT
DIFFER IN A SYSTEMATIC MANNER FROM
THE TRUE VALUES. A STUDY WITH SMALL
SYSTEMATIC ERROR IS SAID TO HAVE
HIGH ACCURACY.ACCURACY IS NOT
AFFECTED BY THE SAMPLE SIZE.

BIAS IN THE
SAMPLE..
ACCURACY IS NOT AFFECTED BY THE
SAMPLE SIZE. THERE ARE AS MANY AS 45
TYPES OF BIASES, HOWEVER THE
IMPORTANT ONES ARE:
1. SELECTION BIAS
2. MEASUREMENT BIAS
3. CONFOUNDING BIAS


ERRORS IN SAMPLING
SAMPLING ERRORS
Faulty sampling design

Small size of the sample

NON SAMPLING ERRORS
Coverage error

-due to non response or non
cooperation of the informant
Observational error

-due to interviewers bias,imperfect
exptl. design,or interaction
Processing error

-due to errors in statistical analysis

DAHLBERG’S
FORMULA
DAHLBERG IN 1940 USED THIS FORMULA TO
CALCULATE THE METHOD ERROR

WHEN YOU HAVE A COLLECTION OF
POINTS YOU BEGIN THE INITIAL ANALYSIS
BY PLOTTING THEM ON A GRAPH TO SEE
HOW THEY ARE DISTRIBUTED

NORMAL OR GAUSSIAN DISTRIBUTION


CHARACTERISTICS OF NORMAL
DISTRIBUTION
1. THE CURVE HAS A SINGLE PEAK, THUS IT
IS UNI MODAL
2. IT HAS A BELL SHAPE
3. MEAN, MEDIAN AND MODE ARE THE SAME
VALUES.
4. TWO TAILS EXTEND INDEFINITELY AND
NEVER TOUCH THE HORIZONTAL AXIS (THIS
MEANS THAT INFINITE NUMBER OF VALUES ARE POSSIBLE)

BINOMIAL DISTRIBUTION
THE BINOMIAL DISTRIBUTION IS USED FOR
DESCRIBING DISCRETE NOT THE
CONTINUOUS DATA. THESE VALUES ARE AS
A RESULT OF AN EXPERIMENT KNOWN AS
BERNOULLI’S PROCESS.THEY ARE USED TO
DESCRIBE
1. ONE WITH CERTAIN CHARACTERISTIC
2. REST WITHOUT THIS CHARACTERISTIC
THE DISTRIBUTION OF THE OCCURRENCE OF
THE CHARACTRERISTIC IN THE POPULATION

THE POISSON
DISTRIBUTION

IF IN A BINOMIAL DISTRIBUTION THE VALUE OF
PROBABILITY OF SUCCESS AND FAILURE OF
AN EVENT BECOMES INDEFINITELY SMALL AND
THE NUMBER OF OBSERVATION BECOMES
VERY LARGE, THEN BINOMIAL DISTRIBUTION
TENDS TO POISSON DISTRIBUTION.
THIS IS USED TO DESCRIBE THE OCCURRENCE
OF RARE EVENTS IN A LARGE POPULATION.

IT IS NECESSARY TO STUDY THE VARIATION.
THIS VARIATION IS ALSO KNOWN AS
DISPERSION.IT GIVES US INFORMATION, HOW
INDIVIDUAL OBSERVATIONS ARE SCATTERED
OR DISPERSED FROM THE MEAN OF LARGE

DIFFERENT MEASURES OF
DISPERSION
1. RANGE
2. QUARTILE DEVIATION
3. COEFFICIENT OF QUARTILE DEVIATION
4. MEAN DEVIATION
5. STANDARD DEVIATION
6. VARIANCE
7. COEFFICIENT OF VARIATION

STANDARD DEVIATION
1. STANDARD DEVIATION INDICATES HOW
CLOSE THE INDIVIDUAL READINGS TO THE
MEAN.
2. THE SMALLER THE STANDARD DEVIATION,
THE MORE HOMOGENEOUS IS THE
SAMPLE.
3. A LARGER SD IMPLIES THAT THE
INDIVIDUAL SUBJECTS MEASUREMENTS

COEFFICIENT OF
VARIATION

WHEN YOU WANT TO COMPARE TWO OR
MORE SERIES OF DATA WITH EITHER
DIFFERENT UNITS OF MEASUREMENTS
OR EITHER MARKED DIFFERENCE IN
MEAN, A RELATIVE MEASURE OF
DISPERSION, COEFFIENT OF VARIATION
IS USED.
C.V. = ( S X100)
X

STANDARD ERROR OF THE
Mean OF THE MEAN= STANDARD DEVIATION
STANDARD ERROR

A LARGE STANDARD ERROR IMPLIES THAT WE
SQUARE ROOT OF NUMBER OF SUBJECTS
CANNOT BE VERY CONFIDENT THAT OUR
SAMPLE STATISTICS ARE REALLY GOOD
ESTIMATES OF POPULATION PARAMETERS
A SMALL STANDARD ERROR ALLOWS US TO
FEEL MORE CONFIDENT THAT OUR SAMPLE
STATISTICS ARE REPRESENTATIVE OF
POPULATION PARAMETERS.

Population means are best used as bases for comparison,not as treatment
goals.

“P” VALUESIGNIFICANCE

IT REPRESENTS THE PROBABILITY.
TO DETERMINE IF THE TREATMENT GROUP
IS DIFFERENT FROM CONTROL GROUP
IF IT IS LESS THAN .05, IT MEANS THERE ARE
FEWER THAN 5 CHANCES OUT OF 100 THAT
THE DIFFERENCE WE OBSERVE ARE DUE TO
RANDOM CHANCE ALONE.
LESS THAN .01
LESS THAN .001 www.indiandentalacademy.com

CRITICAL RATIO, Z SCORE
It indicates how much an observation is bigger or
smaller than mean in units of SD
Z ratio =

Observation – Mean
Standard Deviation

The Z score is the number of SDs that the simple
mean depart from the population mean.
As the critical ratio increases the probability of
accepting null hypothesis decreases.

VARIANCE RATIO OR FISCHER “F”
TEST
FOR COMPARISON OF VARIANCE (SD2 )
BETWEEN THE GROUPS (OR SAMPLES SD12
AND SD22 ) VARIANCE RATIO TEST IS
UTILISED. THIS TEST INVOLVES A
DISTRIBUTION KNOWN AS “F” DISTRIBUTION.
THIS WAS DEVELOPED BY FISHER AND
SNEDECOR WITH DEGREES OF FREEDOM OF

STUDENT’S ‘t’ TEST
THIS TEST IS A PARAMETRIC TEST
DESCRIBED BY W.S.GOSSETT WHOSE PEN
NAME WAS “STUDENT”. IT IS USED FOR
SMALL SAMPLES, I.E. LESS THAN 30.
T Test can be:
Paired t test
Unpaired t test

STUDENT’S ‘t’ TEST
PAIRED ‘T’ TEST IS USED FOR A GROUP
WHICH IS ITS OWN CONTROL
Ex Effect of bionator on mandibular length

UNPAIRED ‘T’ TEST FOR COMPARING TWO
DIFFERENT GROUPS, ONE OF WHICH MAY BE
CONTROLLED AND THE OTHER TEST GROUP.

Ex:Assessment of arch width of maxilla in thumbsuckers and
normal subjects

ANALYSIS OF VARIANCE (ANOVA)
THIS TEST IS USED TO COMPARE THE
MEANS OF THREE OR MORE GROUPS
TOGETHER. THIS IS USED WHEN•SUBGROUPS TO BE COMPARED ARE

POSITION AND PLOT THE DETERMINED VALUES
ON GRAPH PAPER.

CORRELATION COEFFICIENT (r)
…
A LINE OF BEST FIT IS THEN MADE TO CONNECT
THE MAJORITY OF THE PLOTTED VALUES.
ONE HAS TO LOOK AT A SCATTER PLOT OF

THESE TESTS ARE NON-PARAMETRIC
EQUIVALENT OF STUDENT “t” TESTS.
WILCOXAN SIGNED RANK IS USED FOR
PAIRED DATA AND WILCOXAN RANK SUM IS
USED IN CASE OF UNPAIRED DATA.

KRUSKAL-WALLIS AND

CHI SQUARE TEST (χ2
TEST)
THIS TEST IS A “ GOODNESS OF FIT” TEST,
USED TO FIND OUT THE ASSOCIATION
BETWEEN VARIABLES.THIS TEST IS USEFUL IN
VARIOUS SITUATIONS WHERE PROPORTIONS
OR PERCENTAGES OF TWO GROUPS ARE
COMPARED e.g. PROPORTIONS OF DIED AND
SURVIVED IN TREATED AND UNTREATED
CHILDREN WITH DIARRHOEA CAN BE

DISCRIMINANT FUNCTION
ANALYSIS
IT IS USED TO CLASSIFY CASES INTO THE
VALUES OF A CATEGORICAL DEPENDENT,
USUALLY A DICHOTOMY.IF DISCRIMINANT
FUNCTION ANALYSIS IS EFFECTIVE FOR A
SET OF DATA, THE CLASSIFICATION TABLE
OF CORRECT AND INCORRECT ESTIMATES
WILL YIELD A HIGH PERCENTAGE
CORRECT.


META
ANALYSIS
GENE GLASS(1976) COINED THE TERM ‘META
ANALYSIS’.
THE TECHNIQUE OF META ANALYSIS INVOLVES
REVIEWING AND COMBINING THE RESULTS OF
VARIOUS PREVIOUS STUDIES. PROVIDEDTHE
STUDIES INVOLVED SIMILAR TREATMENTS,
SIMILAR SAMPLES, AND MEASURED SIMILAR
OUTCOMES, THIS CAN BE A USEFUL APPROACH.

CONTROLLED/UNCONTROLLED
TRIALS
CLINICAL RESEARCH CAN INDEED HAVE
CONTROLS. PROVIDED THAT STUDIES ARE
CONDUCTED ON A PROSPECTIVE BASIS,
CONTROLLED CLINICAL STUDIES CAN BE QUITE
POWERFUL.
UNCONTROLLED CLINICAL STUDIES ARE OF
QUESTIONABLE VALIDITY, WHETHER OR NOT

SENSITIVITY, SPECIFICITY AND
ROC
The sensitivity of a test is the probability that the
test is positive for those subjects who actually have
the disease. A perfect test will have a sensitivity of
100%. The sensitivity is also called the true positive
rate.
The specificity of a test is the probability that the
test is negative for those in whom the disease is
absent. A perfect test will have a specificity of I
100%. The specificity is also called the true negitive
rate.
