Pareto Chart00:52

Pareto Chart

7.3K
A Pareto chart is a bar graph or a combination of both line and bar graphs. The bar lengths represent the individual values or the frequency, while the lines represent the cumulative total values. In this chart, the longest bars are arranged on the left and the shortest bars on the right, which makes it easier to read and interpret the data. It can also be called a Pareto diagram or Pareto analysis.
The Pareto chart is named after the Italian economist Vilfredo Pareto, who described the Pareto...

Pie Chart01:04

Pie Chart

15.1K
A pie chart (or a pie graph) is a circular graphical chart or a pictorial representation of categorical data. It is divided into slices of pie each indicating numerical proportions. It is also used to show the relative sizes of data in a single chart.
In a pie chart, the central angle, the arc length of each slice, and the area are directly proportional to the quantity or percentage it represents. Some real-world examples that can be depicted using pie charts include marks obtained by students...

Steps in Outbreak Investigation

261
In the ever-evolving field of public health, statistical analysis serves as a cornerstone for understanding and managing disease outbreaks. By leveraging various statistical tools, health professionals can predict potential outbreaks, analyze ongoing situations, and devise effective responses to mitigate impact. For that to happen, there are a few possible stages of the analysis:

Prevalence and Incidence01:08

Prevalence and Incidence

1.0K
In statistical epidemiology and health sciences, two essential metrics—prevalence and incidence—are fundamental for understanding disease dynamics within a population. These measures enable public health officials, epidemiologists, and researchers to assess the burden of diseases, allocate resources effectively, and design impactful public health policies and interventions.
Prevalence indicates the proportion of individuals in a population who have a specific disease or health...

Factorial Design02:01

Factorial Design

13.4K
Factorial Analysis is an experimental design that applies Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) statistical procedures to examine a change in a dependent variable due to more than one independent variable, also known as factors. Changes in worker productivity can be reasoned, for example, to be influenced by salary and other conditions, such as skill level. One way to test this hypothesis is by categorizing salary into three levels (low, moderate, and high) and skills sets into two levels (entry level...

Causality in Epidemiology01:21

Causality in Epidemiology

1.1K
Causality or causation is a fundamental concept in epidemiology, vital for understanding the relationships between various factors and health outcomes. Despite its importance, there's no single, universally accepted definition of causality within the discipline. Drawing from a systematic review, causality in epidemiology encompasses several definitions, including production, necessary and sufficient, sufficient-component, counterfactual, and probabilistic models. Each has its strengths and...

  • Classification of crowdfunding campaigns based on their objectives and beneficiaries.
  • Spatio-temporal analysis to map campaign locations and funding trends.

Main Results:

  • Campaigns supporting established charities were most frequent and raised the most funds.
  • Business-focused campaigns represented a small fraction of the total.
  • Campaigns were concentrated in dense metropolitan areas, with significant funding originating from Ontario and British Columbia.

Conclusions:

  • Online crowdfunding played a significant role in addressing needs during the COVID-19 pandemic in Canada.
  • Charitable causes received the most substantial financial backing through these platforms.
  • Geographic and provincial disparities exist in the incidence and funding of pandemic-related crowdfunding campaigns.
