How Data are Classified: Numerical Data00:59

How Data are Classified: Numerical Data

37.0K
Data that are countable or measurable in specific units are called numerical or quantitative data. Quantitative data are always numbers. Quantitative data are the result of counting or measuring the attributes of a population. Amount of money, pulse rate, weight, number of people living in a town, and number of students who opt for statistics are examples of quantitative data.
Quantitative data may be either discrete or continuous. All quantitative data that take on only specific numerical...

How Data are Classified: Categorical Data

43.1K
A variable, usually notated by capital letters such as X and Y, is a characteristic or measurement that can be determined for each member of a population. Data are the actual values of variables. They may be numbers, or they may be words. Datum is a single value.
Data are classified based on whether they are measurable or not. Categorical data cannot be measured; instead, it can be divided into categories. For example, if Y denotes a person's party affiliation, some examples of Y include...

Data Reporting and Recording

5.4K
Reporting and recording are crucial in data documentation. The timely, thorough, and accurate documentation of facts is essential when recording patient data. Failure to record findings during an assessment or interpretation of a problem will result in loss of information and make the patient document unreliable. The reader is left with general impressions if the information is not specific. A recording is documenting data of the individual's health information in a traceable, secure, and...

Model Approaches for Pharmacokinetic Data: Physiological Models

252
Physiological models in pharmacokinetics are instrumental in understanding the distribution and elimination of drugs within the body. These models describe the drug concentration within target organs, influenced by factors such as drug uptake, tissue volume, and blood flow. Drug uptake is governed by the partition coefficient, which signifies the drug concentration ratio in tissue to that in the blood. The blood flow rate to a specific tissue is expressed as Qt, and the rate of change in tissue...

Model Approaches for Pharmacokinetic Data: Compartment Models

542
Compartmental analysis is a widely adopted approach to characterizing drug pharmacokinetics. It uses compartment models that conceptualize the body as a collection of reversibly communicating compartments, each representing a group of tissues exhibiting similar drug distribution characteristics. The movement rate of the drug between these compartments is typically described by first-order kinetics.
Two primary types of compartment models are recognized: mammillary and catenary. The more...

Data Collection I01:30

Data Collection I

7.9K
Data collection gathers information needed to make accurate judgments about a patient's present condition. During a health history interview, subjective data is collected from the patient, their caregivers, or family members, and objective data is collected through observations and physical assessment. Patients are the primary source of subjective data. Thus information gathered from patients through interviews, observations, and physical examination is primary data. Secondary sources of...

Area of Science:

  • Life Sciences
  • Bioinformatics
  • Computational Biology

Background:

  • Morphological data is predominantly unstructured free text, causing terminological issues and hindering computer parsing and data reuse.
  • This lack of structure impedes integration with fields like genomics, systems biology, and medicine.
  • Emerging ontologies and semantic technologies offer a solution for formalizing morphological data.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose a novel data model for recording and organizing morphological data.
  • To enable computer-parsability and reusability of morphological information.
  • To facilitate the integration of morphological data within broader life science research.

Main Methods:

  • An instance-based approach using semantic graphs (Semantic Instance Anatomy Knowledge Graphs) to record morphological descriptions.
  • Development of accompanying metadata graphs.
  • Organization of graphs in a tuple store framework using named graph ontology classes for data fragmentation and access.

Main Results:

  • Morphological data can be represented as structured, computer-parsable semantic graphs.
  • A scheme for organizing these graphs in a tuple store is proposed, allowing for data fragmentation and customized data views.
  • The approach facilitates efficient management and access to morphological data.

Conclusions:

  • The proposed semantic data model makes morphological data computer-parsable and reusable by non-experts.
  • This facilitates better integration of morphological data with other life science datasets.
  • Enables morphology to actively participate in eScience and Big Data initiatives.
