Chapter 1 Introduction And Research Approach Precision Estimates For Definition 5.2 (precision) precision refers to how close the sample estimates from different samples are likely to be to each other. using this language: the type of sampling (i.e., the way in which the samples in selected) impacts the accuracy of the sample estimate. in other words, the type of sampling impacts the external validity of the study. 2.1.1.1. interpreting results of precision estimates for quantitative methods2.1.1.1.1. based on the effect of analytical performance on clinical outcomes. if goals relating to clinical outcomes are available, then these should be used. 2.1.1.1.2. acceptable imprecision based on biological variation. Z is the statistical confidence; therefore, z = 1.96 translates to 95% confidence; z = 1.68 translates to 90% confidence. p = expected prevalence (of health condition of interest) d = describes intended precision; d = 0.1 means that the estimate falls 10 percentage points of true prevalence with the considered confidence. (e.g. for a. At the end of this chapter, you will be able to: define the term “research methods”. list the nine steps in undertaking a research project. differentiate between applied and basic research. explain where research ideas come from. define ontology and epistemology and explain the difference between the two.
