Statistical analysis database

The second stage was a statistical analysis of the data available from the NGSDC database and several other smaller databases to extract the frequency-magnitude (f-M) relations for earthquakes originating in widely different regions of the earth. 

In order to reduce unnecessary data queries, the statistics group should be consulted early in the clinical database development process to identify variables critical for data analysis. Optimally, the statistical analysis plan would already be written by the time of database development so that the queries could be designed based on the critical variables indicated in the analysis plan. However, at the database development stage, usually only the clinical protocol exists to guide the statistics and clinical data management departments in developing the query or data management plan. 

There is only one good solution to handling free-text variables that are needed for statistical analysis. The free-text variables need to be coded by clinical data management in the clinical database. If the adverse events were coded with a dictionary such as MedDRA, the previous example might look like Program 2.3. 

All input parameters, scenario definitions and results are stored in a database for easy access and retrieval. Analysis of individual scenario results and statistical analysis over all scenarios (or any subset) is possible. Typical individual scenario results are deposition, dosage and casualty level on the attacked target. Typical statistical analysis results are dosage and deposition threat spectra, and casualty spectra. The casualty levels and spectra can be obtained for various health effect levels (eye effect, incapacitation, lethal) and protection levels (no protection, suit only, mask only, mask and suit, collective protection). This model thus largely eliminates the subjectivity involved in scenario studies, protective and detector equipment procurement. 

It should be emphasized, however, that most of our relationships involve, in different combinations, only three or four of the quantities on the right of Eq. (8). To develop an expression to represent a particular property we need a database of experimental values for it. For each compound in the database we compute V(r) and all of the variables in Eq. (8). A statistical analysis package is then used to identify a subset of these to which the experi-... 

We collected sets of single-shot broadband LIBS spectra in the Army Research LIBS Laboratory for 27 obsidian samples from major sites across the CVF as well as for samples from 4 other California obsidian locations - Bodie Hills, Mt. Hicks, Fish Springs, and Shoshone. The resultant obsidian LIBS spectral database was analyzed by multivariate statistical analysis. 

A or As). It is necessary to first establish a reliable experimental database for the property of interest, and then to fit it, by means of a statistical analysis code, to (usually) three or four of the quantities, appropriately selected, as computed for the molecules in the database. If the interaction involves multicomponent systems, as does solvation, then only one component may vary. For example, a relationship could be developed for a series of solutes in a particular solvent, or a given solute in different solvents. In doing so, we have always sought to use as few of the computed quantities as is consistent with a good correlation, since they can provide insight into the physical factors that are involved in the interaction this becomes obscured if many terms are involved.

The US-EPA Consolidated Human Activity Database (CHAD) (US-EPA 2007b) contains data obtained from preexisting human activity studies that were collected at city, state, and national levels. CHAD is intended to be an input file for exposure/intake dose modeling and/or statistical analysis. CHAD is a master database providing access to other human activity databases using a consistent format. This facilitates access and retrieval of activity/and questionnaire information from those databases that US-EPA currently has access to and uses in its various regulatory analyses undertaken by program offices. 

There is one final opportunity to revisit the proposed methods of statistical analysis prior to the breaking of the blind, or in an unblinded trial, before the statistics group have seen study data. This so-called blind review usually takes place around the time of database lock and the following lists some of the aspects of analysis that would generally be considered ... 

Unfortunately, most of these tools are extremely expensive, and are fairly complex to deploy, requiring a database backend for alert storage. Surprisingly, they also have limited correlation capabilities, only providing a dozen or so rules as example for the development of environment-specific correlation rules. They should be viewed as a development framework for writing correlation rules. Since our correlation needs are very diverse, we could not find a platform that would allow us to run multiple correlation processes in parallel, from dynamic statistical analysis to vulnerability assessment. Also, manipulation of contextual data with interfaces to the inventory and configuration databases of the companies, was a strong requirement that no commercial tool satisfied at the time we launched the project.
