Understanding Statistics through Dance

                                                                       

themostsearched.org is pleased to announce the inclusion in the repository of videos of basic statistical procedures being illustrated through dance from the British Psychological Society (BPS). The videos are the product of a 2011 BPS Public Engagement Grant project called "Communicating psychology to the public through dance." The project was led by Lucy Irving from Middlesex University and Andy Field from the University of Sussex and received additional funding from IdeasTap, a British non-profit that focuses on young artists. 

The videos illustrate correlation, variance, frequency distributions, and sampling and standard error. Lucy Irving explained: “We worked with the choreographer and experimented with the dancers to find ways of communicating the concepts. Our hope is that as well as being fun and educational the films will demystify and take some of the fear out of statistics. Students often report that ‘the stats’ are the most difficult part of their psychology degree and these the films aim to challenge this by demonstrating that thinking about them in new ways may make them easier to comprehend.”

Earning and Unemployment Rates by Educational Attainment

A report from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics on the Current Population Survey for 2012 shows that all workers earn an average of $815 per week and had an unemployment rate of 6.8%. The chart also shows that individuals who have not graduated from high school earn 25% less per week and are three times as likely to be unemployed than those individuals with Bachelor's degree.

Women, Aging, Fertility, and Statistics

In the July/August, 2013 issue of The Atlantic, Jean M. Twenge, Professor of Psychology at San Diego State University and author of The Impatient Woman's Guide to Getting Pregnant wrote the article, "How Long Can You Wait to Have a Baby?" which explored her experience in getting pregnant. She discusses her search for information in the popular press and scientific journals and this section of her article is below.

The widely cited statistic that one in three women ages 35 to 39 will not be pregnant after a year of trying is based on an article published in 2004 in the journal Human Reproduction. Rarely mentioned is the source of the data: French birth records from 1670 to 1830. The chance of remaining childless—30 percent—was also calculated based on historical populations.

In other words, millions of women are being told when to get pregnant based on statistics from a time before electricity, antibiotics, or fertility treatment. Most people assume these numbers are based on large, well-conducted studies of modern women, but they are not. 

Even some studies based on historical birth records are more optimistic than what the press normally reports: One found that, in the days before birth control, 89 percent of 38-year-old women were still fertile. Another concluded that the typical woman was able to get pregnant until somewhere between ages 40 and 45. Yet these more encouraging numbers are rarely mentioned—none of these figures appear in the American Society for Reproductive Medicine’s 2008 committee opinion on female age and fertility, which instead relies on the most-ominous historical data.

In short, the “baby panic” is based largely on questionable data. We've rearranged our lives, worried endlessly, and forgone countless career opportunities based on a few statistics about women who resided in thatched-roof huts and never saw a lightbulb.

“Behind a cancer-treatment firm’s rosy survival claims”

In a recent post on the blog, Statistical Modeling, Causal Inference, and Social Science, the following was reported:

Brett Keller points to a recent news article by Sharon Begley and Robin Respaut:

A lot of doctors, hospitals and other healthcare providers in the United States decline to treat people who can’t pay, or have inadequate insurance, among other reasons. What sets CTCA [Cancer Treatment Centers of America] apart is that rejecting certain patients and, even more, culling some of its patients from its survival data lets the company tout in ads and post on its website patient outcomes that look dramatically better than they would if the company treated all comers. These are the rosy survival numbers . . .

Details:

CTCA reports on its website that the percentage of its patients who are alive after six months, a year, 18 months and longer regularly tops national figures. For instance, 60 percent of its non-small-cell lung cancer patients are alive at six months, CTCA says, compared to 38 percent nationally. And 64 percent of its prostate cancer patients are alive at three years, versus 38 percent nationally.

Such claims are misleading, according to nine experts in cancer and medical statistics whom Reuters asked to review CTCA’s survival numbers and its statistical methodology.

The experts were unanimous that CTCA’s patients are different from the patients the company compares them to, in a way that skews their survival data. It has relatively few elderly patients, even though cancer is a disease of the aged. It has almost none who are uninsured or covered by Medicaid – patients who tend to die sooner if they develop cancer and who are comparatively numerous in national statistics. . . . Accepting only selected patients and calculating survival outcomes from only some of them “is a huge bias and gives an enormous advantage to CTCA,” said biostatistician Donald Berry . . .

What I really like about this article is how it combines quantitative information with qualitative interviews:

Carolyn Holmes, a former CTCA oncology information specialist in Tulsa, Oklahoma, said she and others routinely tried to turn away people who “were the wrong demographic” because they were less likely to have an insurance policy that CTCA preferred. Holmes said she would try to “let those people down easy.” . . .

The ads also challenge viewers to “compare our treatment results to national averages.” Doing so, on the company’s website, shows that CTCA’s reported survival outcomes regularly beat those averages.

Experts in medical data who reviewed CTCA’s claims for Reuters say those claims are suspect because of what they called deviations from best practices in statistics – in particular, comparing its carefully selected patients to those nationwide.

“It makes their data look better than it is,” said Robert Strawderman, professor and chairman of biostatistics at the University of Rochester. “So the comparisons used to suggest that CTCA has better survival rates are pretty meaningless.”

ICPSR Summer Internship Class of 2013

We are pleased to announce the 9th year of the ICPSR Summer Internship Program for undergraduates (REU Site: The Quantitative Social Science Research at the University of Michigan). The application process for the summer internship was very competitive. This year we received over 200 applications and will be supporting seven interns in the following topical archives: Education and Child Care Archives, National Addiction & HIV Data Archive Program (NAHDAP), Resource Center for Minority Data (RCMD), National Archive of Criminal Justice Data (NACJD), and the General Archive.

The Interns will spend ten weeks at ICPSR in Ann Arbor from June 3rd to August 9th during which they will:

• Gain experience with processing data and learn statistical software packages (SAS, SPSS, Stata and R)
• Complete a research project resulting in conference-ready posters
• Attend graduate level courses in the ICPSR Summer Program
• Participate in the Lunch and Lecture series

The objective of the Summer Internship Program is to support ICPSR's strategic focus on undergraduates by promoting the effective use of social science research data. We will encourage the interns to pursue graduate studies or a career in the social or behavioral sciences. With luck, they will be future data depositors, summer program instructors, Official Representatives, or even members of the Council. We currently have forty-one alumni of the Internship Program and many are currently attending and/or have successfully completed graduate school or have begun a career in the social sciences.

The Internship Program will be managed by Abayomi Israel (Intern Alumni class of '05), with John Garcia of the RCMD and Lynette Hoelter of Instructional Resources (IR) serving as Co-Principal Investigators, and providing guidance and support as Research Program Mentors. Each intern will be assigned an experienced data processor as his/her Processing Mentor. In addition, the interns will have the opportunity to receive additional graduate school advice and support on their research projects from the ICPSR Faculty.

We are very pleased to announce that the following students have been selected for the 2013 Summer Internship Program:
