Re: Disease Detectives B/C
I would recommend looking at breakdowns of the ten steps. Generally, if it was purely a field investigation, you would have to notify the proper authorities (i.e. policymakers in the CDC if you were an investigator.) Past that, it would go to the press and media.UTF-8 U+6211 U+662F wrote:Still wondering about this :/UTF-8 U+6211 U+662F wrote:Anyone have any information about who to contact after an investigation has been conducted?

Re: Disease Detectives B/C
Are experimental or trial studies the same as randomized controlled trials? I feel like this is a stupid question but I had to ask just in case.

If you're curious...yes, I like rabbits.

Re: Disease Detectives B/C
I have decided to take Unome's advice and start prepping for next year. I will be in C for the first time.
Does anyone have a list of statistics i need to know.

Anything from Chi-squared tests to odds ratios and risk ratios. http://www.fao.org/wairdocs/ilri/x5436e/x5436e00.htmWhatScience? wrote:I have decided to take Unome's advice and start prepping for next year. I will be in C for the first time.

Re: Disease Detectives B/C
Have you gone through all the tests here and here? If you take about 2-3 tests per week (or one a day if you really want to) and make a habit of learning anything you get wrong on the test, you should do very well at Nats. I see that you are in Division B, but that doesn't mean you should not take Division C tests. I did that my last year of B and it really helped me in Disease Detectives.

Re: Disease Detectives B/C
Chi-squares- these are not as hard as they look. PM me if you want a good explanation. I've posted on them before but have since perfected my methods. Finally I found the correct algebraic formula. I've seen these on almost every high-level Division C test.WhatScience? wrote:I have decided to take Unome's advice and start prepping for next year. I will be in C for the first time.

Types of bias- have a long list of any types of bias you come across in test-taking along with explanations and examples.
Cochran Mantel-Haenszel summary odds ratio- this is a mouthful but it's just a lot of algebra. The 2017 Brookwood test (EDIT: key) on the test exchange has this formula. The formula they give for the chi-squares is wrong. Do not follow in my naive footsteps and use their chi-squares formula. But the CM-H test formula is correct, as far as I know. https://scioly.org/tests/files/diseased ... _test1.pdf
Also- just another tip in general- make a huge vocabulary list on your information sheet. I think we have at least 100 words that my partner and I have both used multiple times on many tests.
EDIT 2: Here's the key to the Brookwood test. Again, their chi-squares stuff is incorrect, but the CM-H stuff is correct- I haven't seen anything that disproves their formula. https://scioly.org/tests/files/diseased ... od_key.pdf

Re: Disease Detectives B/C
I know this is a very very very very very very very long shot, but does anyone have raw scores for 2017 nats?
