Abstract:
Scientific evidence for the effect of non-drug treatments for Parkinson's disease is increasing. Because even well-controlled clinical studies have certain methodological limitations, it is sometimes difficult to translate the findings from scientific research into everyday clinical practice. In this article, we look at another source of information about healthcare in daily practice, namely insurance data. We show that analysis of insurance data can be an important addition to scientific evidence from controlled clinical trials. We illustrate this by means of a recent publication in which this method is used to investigate whether specialised physiotherapy has additional value when compared to regular physiotherapy for the treatment of people with Parkinson's disease.

Testing a Claim about Mean: Known Population SD
Estimating a population mean requires the samples to be distributed normally. The data should be collected from the randomly selected samples having no sampling bias. The sample size needed to be higher than 30, and most importantly, the population standard deviation should be already known.
In most realistic situations, the population standard deviation is often unknown, but in rare circumstances, when it...

Testing a Claim about Population Proportion
There are two methods of testing a claim about a population proportion: (1) Using the sample proportion from the data where a binomial distribution is approximated to the normal distribution and (2) Using the binomial probabilities calculated from the data.
The first method uses normal distribution as an approximation to the binomial distribution. The requirements are as follows: sample size is large...
Testing a Claim about Standard Deviation
The hypothesis testing for the claim of population standard deviation (or variance) requires the data and samples to be random and unbiased. The population distribution also must be normal. There is no specific requirement on the sample size as the estimation is based on the chi-square distribution.
As a first step, the hypothesis (null and alternative) concerning the claim about...
