What are Common Statistical Methods Used in Nursing?
Several statistical methods are commonly used in nursing, including:
Descriptive Statistics: Summarize and describe the features of a dataset (e.g., mean, median, mode). Inferential Statistics: Make inferences about a population based on a sample (e.g., t-tests, chi-square tests). Regression Analysis: Examine the relationship between variables (e.g., linear regression, logistic regression). Survival Analysis: Analyze time-to-event data, commonly used in clinical trials.
