Time permitting, the relationship between the likelihood function of Bayesian analysis and the likelihood ratio, in the context of measuring the performance of a diagnostic test, will be presented. The educational objectives of this session are to be able to understand the basic statistical concepts and methods that are needed for collaboration with more experienced researchers and biostatisticians on the design and analysis of a study. The session will cover topics such as types of data, p-values, confidence intervals, when to use common statistical tests, and simple power calculations. Established investigators, each with an area of expertise, will be present to answer questions regarding the planning, implementation, and completion of research projects. Stroke Research, Cardiovascular Research, Pediatric Emergency Medicine Research, Emergency Medical Services Research, Outcomes and Clinical Decision Rule Research, Research Design and Statistical Analysis, Animal Research.
Time is of the essence.
Therefore, models and methods that improve the efficiency of problem analysis, problem solving, and conflict resolution are extremely helpful to the emergency physician. This session is open to all attendees at no charge. This hands-on workshop will take the next step beyond the morning introduction. Dr. Iseke will provide further depth into the methods and models of multi-dimensional problem solving. Then, participants will try their hand at negotiating a conflict typical of the scenarios facing doctors in emergency departments today.
