Nigerian Spleen Length. O. Ehimwenma and M. Tagbo, researchers in Nigeria, were interested in how characteristics of the spleen of residents in their tropical environment compare to those found elsewhere in the world. They published their findings in the article “Determination of Normal Dimensions of the Spleen by Ultrasound in an Endemic Tropical Environment” (Nigerian Medical Journal, Vol. 52, No. 3, pp. 198–203). The researchers randomly sampled 91 males and 109 females in Nigeria. The

- How would I want to describe this data study graphically and numerically? What kind of statistical test/method would I want to use and why? A study was performed to determine whether steroids were effective in slowing the development of Crohn’s disease (CD). In the study, 338 patients with irritable bowel syndrome (a possible precursor to CD) were randomly assigned to either receive steroids immediately or to wait until they developed further CD symptoms. Data were collected a year after randomization. In addition to evaluating whether CD developed, data on race, blood tests measurements (continuous), and the number of visits to the doctor in the last year were also collected.arrow_forwardWhat is the difference between the population and sample regressionfunctions? Is this a distinction without difference?arrow_forwardhow do the four assumptions underlying the GLM impact the data analysis process ?arrow_forward
