I am very interested in the answer key for this homework...
In all seriousness, I'd love a breakdown, and references for further study (on how to read medical papers, or scientific papers in general)
- dekhn 9y agoI suggest starting with "Primer on Biostatistics" by Glantz https://www.amazon.com/Primer-Biostatistics-Seventh-Glantz-Paperback/dp/0071781501 https://www.amazon.com/Primer-Biostatistics-Seventh-Glantz-P... which contains the basics you need to know to do analysis of stats analysis. I haven't read it, but you'll probably want a book like https://www.amazon.com/Design-Studies-Medical-Research/dp/0470844957 https://www.amazon.com/Design-Studies-Medical-Research/dp/04... or https://www.amazon.com/Study-Design-Statistical-Analysis-Clinicians/dp/0521534070 https://www.amazon.com/Study-Design-Statistical-Analysis-Cli... realistically you need at least a master's degree in a quantitative field to get the time and knowledge required to evaluate studies like this. I see a lot of armchair "scientists" trying to evaluate studies, it's very common to see basic mistakes in evaluating papers.
