Tools for epidemiologists

Standardization of rates

  • direct standardization
  • indirect standardization

Tables for epidemiologists

  • 2 x 2 and 2 x 2 stratified tables for longitudinal, cohort study, case-control, and matched case-control data
  • odds ratio, incidence ratio, risk ratio, risk difference, and attributable fraction
  • confidence intervals for the above
  • chi-squared, Fisher's exact, and Mantel–Haenszel tests
  • tests for homogeneity
  • choice of weights for stratified tables: Mantel–Haenszel, standardized, or user-specified
  • exact McNemar test for matched case-control data
  • tabulated odds and odds ratios
  • score test for linear trend

Table symmetry and marginal homogeneity tests

  • n x n tables where there is a one-to-one matching of cases and controls
  • asymptotic symmetry and marginal homogeneity tests
  • exact symmetry tests
  • transmission disequilibrium test (TDT)

U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) submittals*

  • read and write data in the format required by the FDA for new drug application (NDA) submittals
  • describe the contents of data written in the FDA required format
 

Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curves

  • calculate area under curve
  • fit maximum-likelihood ROC models assuming a binormal distribution of the latent variable
  • test equality of two or more ROC areas
  • test equality of ROC area against a "gold" standard ROC curve
  • raw and Bonferroni adjusted significance probability
  • Sidak's adjustment for multiple comparisons

Generalized linear models for the binomial family

  • individual-level or grouped data
  • odds ratios, risk ratios, health ratios, and risk differences

Pharmacokinetics

  • pharmacokinetic measures from time-and-concentration subject-level data
  • test that measurement is normally distributed
  • analysis of data from crossover design experiment
  • test of bioequivalence for two treatments

ICD-9-CM diagnostic and procedure codes

  • verify variable contains valid codes
  • modify codes to display in standard format
  • display description of codes
  • display the identity of source
  • more
