TLDR
In this article, a linear regression technique is used to relate a measured response variable, Y, to a single predictor (explanatory) variable, X, by means of a straight line.Abstract:
One of the most widely used statistical techniques is simple linear regression. This technique is used to relate a measured response variable, Y, to a single measured predictor (explanatory) variable, X, by means of a straight line. It uses the principle of least squares to come up with values of the “best” slope and intercept for a straight line that approximates the relationship. By means of the example below we motivate the technique, indicate the rationale underlying the calculations and come up with the formulas for the “best” slope and intercept based on the data.read more

TL;DR: Second derivative spectroscopy was used to reduce light scattering effects, chromophores with constant absorption, baseline/instrumentation drift, and movement artifacts, and a wide 40 nm wavelength gap used for calculating second derivative attenuation significantly improved sensitivity to oxyhemoglobin absorption.

Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient
TL;DR: It was concluded that an increase in antidepressant prescribing may be a proxy marker for improved overall management of depression, and increased prescribing of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors in general practice may have a quantifiable benefit on the mental health of the population.

TL;DR: The steady-state femoral head penetration rate associated with this first-generation highly cross-linked poly methylene liner was significantly lower than that associated with a conventional polyethylene liner and long-term follow-up is required to demonstrate the clinical benefit of this new material.
