Document Summary
Paient (not general populaion) or subject of the research. Bimodal distribuion two peaks: allows separaion of populaion into those with and without disease. Unimodal distribuion one peak more common: more diicult to separate populaion into those with and without diseases. Abnormal as uncommon: values of a distribuion that occur infrequently are said to be abnormal; those that occur frequently are said to be normal , e. g. A moderate level of risk account for a high proporion of morbidity and mortality because it afects more people abnormal as associated with diseases: values of distribuion that are associated with clinically meaningful diseases are said to be. Summary of consideraion abnormality: staisical consideraions. Outcomes of posiive test (stress, addiional medical procedures) must be weighed against the beneits: social consideraions. Normal vs. abnormal: discussion: choose a health outcome (must be coninuous variable) and provide deiniions for abnormal values of that i"ll come using the three types of criteria.
