The document discusses correlation and regression analysis. Correlation measures the strength and direction of association between two continuous variables. The Pearson's correlation coefficient r ranges from -1 to 1, with values closer to these extremes indicating a stronger linear relationship. Regression finds the linear relationship between an independent and dependent variable using the regression equation y = a + bx. It can be used to predict the dependent variable from known values of the independent variable. The document provides an example of a study that used regression to analyze the relationship between fissure sealant effectiveness and exposure to fluoridated water.

Correlation Analysis
Correlation Analysis
Correlation measures the relationship between two quantitative variables
Linear correlation measures if the ordered paired data follow a straight-line relationship between quantitative variables.
The correlation coefficient (r) computed from the sample data measures the strength and the direction of a linear relationship between two variables.
The range of correlation coefficient is -1 to +1. When there is no linear relationship between the two variables or only a weak relationship, the value of correlation coefficient will be close to 0.
Things to Remember

Chapter 9 Summary and Review
Chapter 9 Statistical Software Resources
In this chapter, we discuss correlational research methods and correlational statistics. As a research method, correlational designs allow us to describe the relationship between two measured variables. A correlation coefficient aids us by assigning a numerical value to the observed relationship. We begin with a discussion of how to conduct correlational research, the magnitude and the direction of correlations, and graphical representations of correlations. We then turn to special considerations when interpreting correlations, how to use correlations for predictive purposes, and how to calculate correlation coefficients. Lastly, we will discuss an advanced correlational technique, regression analysis.

Correlational Research
Learning Objectives
•Describe the difference between strong, moderate, and weak correlation coefficients.
•Draw and interpret scatterplots.
•Explain negative, positive, curvilinear, and no relationship between variables.
•Explain how assuming causality and directionality, the third-variable problem, restrictive ranges, and curvilinear relationships can be problematic when interpreting correlation coefficients.
•Explain how correlations allow us to make predictions.
When conducting correlational studies, researchers determine whether two naturally occurring variables (for example, height and weight, or smoking and cancer) are related to each other. Such studies assess whether the variables are “co-related” in some way—do people who are taller tend to weigh more, or do those who smoke tend to have a higher incidence of cancer? As we saw in Chapter 1, the correlational method is a type of nonexperimental method that describes the relationship between two measured variables. In addition to describing a relationship, correlations also allow us to make predictions from one variable to another. If two variables are correlated, we can pred.

Two-Variable (Bivariate) Regression
In the last unit, we covered scatterplots and correlation. Social scientists use these as descriptive tools for getting an idea about how our variables of interest are related. But these tools only get us so far. Regression analysis is the next step. Regression is by far the most used tool in social science research.
Simple regression analysis can tell us several things:
1. Regression can estimate the relationship between x and y in their
original units of measurement. To see why this is so useful, consider the example of infant mortality and median family income. Let’s say that a policymaker is interested in knowing how much of a change in median family income is needed to significantly reduce the infant mortality rate. Correlation cannot answer this question, but regression can.
2. Regression can tell us how well the independent variable (x) explains the dependent variable (y). The measure is called the
R square.

Assessment 2 ContextIn many data analyses, it is desirable.docxfestockton
Assessment 2 Context
In many data analyses, it is desirable to compute a coefficient of association. Coefficients of association are quantitative measures of the amount of relationship between two variables. Ultimately, most techniques can be reduced to a coefficient of association and expressed as the amount of relationship between the variables in the analysis. There are many types of coefficients of association. They express the mathematical association in different ways, usually based on assumptions about the data. The most common coefficient of association you will encounter is the Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient (symbolized as the italicized r), and it is the only coefficient of association that can safely be referred to as simply the "correlation coefficient". It is common enough so that if no other information is provided, it is reasonable to assume that is what is meant.
Correlation coefficients are numbers that give information about the strength of relationship between two variables, such as two different test scores from a sample of participants. The coefficient ranges from -1 through +1. Coefficients between 0 and +1 indicate a positive relationship between the two scores, such as high scores on one test tending to come from people with high scores on the second. The other possible relationship, which is every bit as useful, is a negative correlation between -1 and 0. A negative correlation possesses no less predictive power between the two scores. The difference is that high scores on one measure are associated with low scores on the other.
An example of the kinds of measures that might correlate negatively is absences and grades. People with higher absences will be expected to have lower grades. When a correlation is said to be significant, it can be shown that the correlation is significantly different form zero in the population. A correlation of zero means no relationship between variables. A correlation other than zero means the variables are related. As the coefficient gets further from zero (toward +1 or -1), the relationship becomes stronger.Interpreting Correlation: Magnitude and Sign
Interpreting a Pearson's correlation coefficient (rXY) requires an understanding of two concepts:
· Magnitude.
· Sign (+/-).
The magnitude refers to the strength of the linear relationship between Variable X and Variable
The rXY ranges in values from -1.00 to +1.00. To determine magnitude, ignore the sign of the correlation, and the absolute value of rXY indicates the extent to which Variable X and Variable Y are linearly related. For correlations close to 0, there is no linear relationship. As the correlation approaches either -1.00 or +1.00, the magnitude of the correlation increases. Therefore, for example, the magnitude of r = -.65 is greater than the magnitude of r = +.25 (|.65| > |.25|).
In contrast to magnitude, the sign of a non-zero correlation is either negative or positive.

New Directions in Targeted Therapeutic Approaches for Older Adults With Mantl...i3 Health
i3 Health is pleased to make the speaker slides from this activity available for use as a non-accredited self-study or teaching resource.
This slide deck presented by Dr. Kami Maddocks, Professor-Clinical in the Division of Hematology and
Associate Division Director for Ambulatory Operations
The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center, will provide insight into new directions in targeted therapeutic approaches for older adults with mantle cell lymphoma.
STATEMENT OF NEED
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rare, aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) accounting for 5% to 7% of all lymphomas. Its prognosis ranges from indolent disease that does not require treatment for years to very aggressive disease, which is associated with poor survival (Silkenstedt et al, 2021). Typically, MCL is diagnosed at advanced stage and in older patients who cannot tolerate intensive therapy (NCCN, 2022). Although recent advances have slightly increased remission rates, recurrence and relapse remain very common, leading to a median overall survival between 3 and 6 years (LLS, 2021). Though there are several effective options, progress is still needed towards establishing an accepted frontline approach for MCL (Castellino et al, 2022). Treatment selection and management of MCL are complicated by the heterogeneity of prognosis, advanced age and comorbidities of patients, and lack of an established standard approach for treatment, making it vital that clinicians be familiar with the latest research and advances in this area. In this activity chaired by Michael Wang, MD, Professor in the Department of Lymphoma & Myeloma at MD Anderson Cancer Center, expert faculty will discuss prognostic factors informing treatment, the promising results of recent trials in new therapeutic approaches, and the implications of treatment resistance in therapeutic selection for MCL.
Target Audience
Hematology/oncology fellows, attending faculty, and other health care professionals involved in the treatment of patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).
Learning Objectives
1.) Identify clinical and biological prognostic factors that can guide treatment decision making for older adults with MCL
2.) Evaluate emerging data on targeted therapeutic approaches for treatment-naive and relapsed/refractory MCL and their applicability to older adults
3.) Assess mechanisms of resistance to targeted therapies for MCL and their implications for treatment selection

Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!
ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN HEALTHCARE.pdfAnujkumaranit
Artificial intelligence (AI) refers to the simulation of human intelligence processes by machines, especially computer systems. It encompasses tasks such as learning, reasoning, problem-solving, perception, and language understanding. AI technologies are revolutionizing various fields, from healthcare to finance, by enabling machines to perform tasks that typically require human intelligence.

10. The correlation (Pearson’s) between age and knowledge score is significantly different from zero ( P <.001). In other words, there is significant (linear) correlation between age and knowledge score. The observed correlation coefficient ( r ) is -.719, which suggests negative and moderate to good correlation (Colton, 1974).

20. An example of a research finding The effectiveness of fissure sealants in preventing caries has been well established in randomised clinical trials. However, there is less consistent evidence of fissure sealant effectiveness from community dental programs. In addition, there are unequivocal findings on the relationship between the effectiveness of fissure sealants and exposure to fluoridated water. Methods : The current cohort study examined 4–15 yr-old children across a period of between 6 mths and 3.5 yrs (mean=2 yrs). Oral health data were obtained as part of regular examinations and questionnaire data on residential and water consumption history was provided by parents or guardians. Results : A sub-group of 791 people (mean age=10.5 yrs) was selected with one contralateral pair of permanent first molars at baseline where the occlusal surface of one molar had been fissure sealed while the paired surface was diagnosed as sound. The caries incidence of the fissure sealed occlusal surfaces was 5.6% compared to 11.1% for sound surfaces (p<.001), demonstrating a 50% reduction in caries incidence for sealed vs non-sealed surfaces.
21. Children were divided into 3 categories of per cent lifetime exposure to optimally fluoridated water, 0%, 1–99% and 100%. Per cent reduction in caries increment attributable to fissure sealing increased across fluoridated water exposure categories - a 36.2% reduction was found for children with 0% exposure (p>.05), a 44.8% reduction for children with intermediate exposure (p<.01), and an 82.4% reduction for children with 100% lifetime exposure to fluoridated water (p<.001). Conclusion : The effectiveness of fissure sealants in community-based programs may be further improved when coupled with increased lifetime exposure to optimally fluoridated water.
