Nominal. Nominal data are used for labeling variables, without any quantitative value. “Nominal” scales could simply be called “labels.”

Randomized Controlled Trial
What is the name of a study in which the subjects were randomized into groups to test the effect of an intervention?

Statistical Significance
What is the result that is not likely to occur randomly, but rather is likely to be attributable to a specific cause?

Abstract
What is provides a complete overview of what the research is about, what it did, how it did it, what it found and what those results mean.

Ordinal With ordinal scales, it is the order of the values is what’s important and significant, but the differences between each one is not really known. Take a look at the example below. In each case, we know that a #4 is better than a #3 or #2, but we don’t know–and cannot quantify–how much better it is. For example, is the difference between “OK” and “Unhappy” the same as the difference between “Very Happy” and “Happy?

Interval scales are numeric scales in which we know not only the order, but also the exact differences between the values. The classic example of an interval scale is Celsius temperature because the difference between each value is the same. For example, the difference between 60 and 50 degrees is a measurable 10 degrees, as is the difference between 80 and 70 degrees. Time is another good example of an interval scale in which the increments are known, consistent, and measurable

Clinical Significance Although a result may be statistically significant, the effect size (ie, magnitude of the effect) may not be biologically or clinically important.
What is more important? Statistical significance or clinical significance and why?

Ratio scales are the ultimate nirvana when it comes to measurement scales because they tell us about the order, they tell us the exact value between units, AND they also have an absolute zero–which allows for a wide range of both descriptive and inferential statistics to be applied. At the risk of repeating myself, everything above about interval data applies to ratio scales + ratio scales have a clear definition of zero. Good examples of ratio variables include height and weight

1.Sample size—with larger sample sizes, statistical significance is more likely to be seen. 2.Variability in patient response or characteristics, either by chance or by nonrandom factors. The smaller the variability, the easier to demonstrate statistical significance. 3.Effect size or the magnitude of the observed effect between groups. The greater the size of the effect, the easier to demonstrate statistical significance.
Name 2 of the 3 factors that can influence statistical significance.

The best way to determine central tendency on a set of ordinal data is to use the mode or median; the mean cannot be defined from an ordinal set.

Regression analysis is used to understand which among the independent variables are related to the dependent variable, and to explore the forms of these relationships. In restricted circumstances, regression analysis can be used to infer causal relationships between the independent and dependent variables
