Good and Bad studies• Reliable samples and surveys will:1. Employ formal probability-based sampling when selecting individualsto sample.2. Employ well-constructed sampling frames, and these shouldinclude the entire population of interest or nearly so.• Reliable experiments will3. Randomly allocate treatments to subjects to avoid confoundingand employ a control.4. Use blocking to remove unwanted sources of variation.5. Select study units that represent the population of interest.This should be done using random selection.Compromise• Compromise is often unavoidable- Randomisation of treatments may be impossible ethically- It may be impossible to sample individuals randomly.• Don’t substitute ‘difficult’ for impossible- A smaller number of well-designed studies is better than awhole lot of cheap ones.• Watch out for designs that cheat.30
4 ProbabilityFred’s DayFred awoke one morning and headed off to the doctor. In the waitingroom for the doctor the 23 waiting paitents were asked their birthdays.Fred could not help but overhear that two of the patients were born onthe same day, it was not his birthday though. During his appointmentFred got tested for a rare disease (1 in 10000 people suffer this disease),the test returns a positive result in 95% of cases of people who actuallyhave the disease, and 6% of cases when people don’t have the disease.Fred’s doctor informed him that he had returned a positive result.Should Fred be worried about returning a positive test result? Whatis the likelihood he has the disease?What is the probability of 2 out of 23 people in a room sharing abirthday? What are the odds that they share a specific birthday?In the next section we will learn some skills that will help us answerthese questions.4.1 Introduction to ProbabilityI have data now what?• Now we have learnt about collecting data, we want to know whatwe can do with itFirst of all: What is Probability?• There is no consistent definition of probability• Statisticians can be split into two main groups who have differingviews on probability.• Frequentists consider probability to be the relative frequency ‘inthe long run’ of outcomes.31
