Introduction

Accurate and precise measurements are of uttermost importance to chemists everywhere. A measurement is said to be accurate when it is very close to the accepted value. A precise measurement is one in which repeated measures yields values or figures that are very close to one another. However, not all measuring instruments have an equal ability to give accurate and precise measurements. In any given experiment, the techniques and the equipment used to collect data should essentially be of the same precision. In the course of an experiment, there are bound to be less precise measurements and it these ...

Precision Medicine According to Christensen

Precision Medicine according to Christensen is basically a disruptive solution for healthcare, which means that provision of care for diseases whose causes are understood can precisely be diagnosed and can therefore be treated with predictably effective rules-based therapies. In this case, genomics play a major role. Collectively, Precision medicine is characterized by three fundamental features: the ability to detect casual factors, an understanding of what actually causes a disease and the ability to treat root causes of the diseases effectively (Carey 50).

Determination of the sample size is informed by knowing various factors. These factors comprise of the effect size which entails the difference that exists between two groups under consideration; for continuous data, the standard deviation of the population should be determined. Another factor is the experiment’s desired power for detection of the hypothesized effect and lastly the stated significance level determines the sample size (Dimitris & Aitken, 2009). The last two factors are generally fixed conventionally while the first two are specific to a certain experiment. The enormity of the effect to be detected by the investigator ought to ...

Non-Parametric or T-tests

Assessment of Non-Parametric This author will provide an assessment of non-parametric analog. Non-parametric methods don’t demand the researcher to formulate distributional assumptions concerning data. Secondly, nonparametric data uses qualitative methods as opposed to quantitative methods. These are the identified and defined procedures of statistics, which are used to test the hypothesis. They, therefore, don’tneed a normal distribution since they are ranks and count-based (Plichta& Kelvin, 2013). The two non-parametric tests used in the article are the Pearson’s Chi squared test for the nominal/ordinal data and the non-parametric Mann-Whitney’s U-test for continuous variables.
