Mixed Methods
A type of mixed methods design where both quantitative and qualitative data are collected at the same time.
What is Convergent Design?
The number of new cases of disease over a person-time denominator.
What is Incidence?
A type of error probability that represents a "false alarm", meaning rejecting the null hypothesis when it is true.
What is Alpha or Type I Error?
Introduction and Method sections.
A feature of specific to advanced mixed methods designs.
What is a "Framework"?
The Independent Variable analog within the context of an Epidemiological Study.
What is the Exposure Variable?
The standard deviation of the sampling distribution.
What is the Standard Error?
What is Statistical Power?
A section or paragraph that comments on the weaknesses and drawbacks of a conducted study.
What is a Limitations section/paragraph?
A basic mixed methods research design where qualitative methods is the priority.
What is Exploratory Sequential Research Design?
What is a Prospective Cohort Study?
The metric of a variability around the sample's mean.
What is the Standard Deviation?
Stating that a respective mean differences or correlation is due to something systematic and not due to chance.
What is Statistical Significance?
The typically shortest written section of a research report in terms of text.
What is the Results section?
This helps inform a reader or consumer of research the type of design used, the priority method, and the method sequence when a complex mixed method design is used.
What is a Visual Diagram or Figure?
What is Odds Ratio?
A cases score minus the mean, divided by the standard deviation of the sample. This descriptive metric has a mean of 0 and a standard deviation of 1.
What is a Z-Score?
A type of error probability when an analyst fails to reject the null hypothesis when in the target population the null is false. This is also called a "missed effect".
What is Type II error or beta?
A section of a report that may have several subsections such as: Participants, Instruments, Procedures, and Statistical Analysis.
What is the Methods Section?
A type of mixed methods design that is often used during interventions or experiments.
What is an Experimental Mixed Methods Design?
A type of Epidemiological study that randomly selects controls from a large cohort instead of matching based on characteristics.
What is a Nested Case-Control Study?
A variable's maximum score minus the minimum score.
Increasing sample size, increasing expected effect size, and lowering variability around the group means.
How to increase Statistical Power?
A section within a research report that interprets the results, compares results to other studies, an provides recommended future research directions.
What is the Discussion section?
