analytical
(adjective)
pertaining to or emanating from analysis.
Examples of analytical in the following topics:
-
Analytical Epidemiology
- Epidemiologists employ a range of study designs from observational to experimental and generally categorized as descriptive, analytic (aiming to further examine known associations or hypothesized relationships), and experimental (a term often equated with clinical or community trials of treatments and other interventions).
- Where descriptive epidemiology describes occurrence of disease (or of its determinants) within a population, the analytical epidemiology aims to gain knowledge on the quality and the amount of influence that determinants have on the occurrence of disease.
- Analytical epidemiology attempts to determine the cause of an outbreak.
-
Descriptive Epidemiology
- In order to accomplish this, epidemiology has two main branches: descriptive and analytical.
- Analytical epidemiologists use data gathered by descriptive epidemiology experts to look for patterns suggesting causation.
- Both descriptive and analytical epidemiology often serve public health organizations by providing information that may reduce disease or reduce other kinds of events that impact people's health.
- Frequency evaluates the rate of occurrence, and pattern helps analytical epidemiologists suggest risk factors.
-
The Science of Epidemiology
- Its study designs are generally categorized as descriptive, analytical (aiming to further examine known associations or hypothesized relationships), and experimental (a term often equated with clinical or community trials of treatments and other interventions).
- Observational studies have two components: descriptive or analytical.
- On the other hand, analytical observations deal more with the "how" of a health-related event.
-
Western Blots
- The Western blot (sometimes called the protein immunoblot) is a widely accepted analytical technique used to detect specific proteins in a given sample of tissue homogenate or extract.
-
Immunoblot Procedures
- This analytic technique proceeds in the following steps.
-
Metabolomics
- As sensitivity has improved with the evolution of higher magnetic field strengths and magic-angle spinning, NMR continues to be a leading analytical tool to investigate metabolism.
- Although the metabolome can be defined readily enough, it is not currently possible to analyse the entire range of metabolites by a single analytical method.
-
Experimental Epidemiology
- Epidemiologists employ a range of study designs from the observational to experimental and they are generally categorized as descriptive, analytic (aiming to further examine known associations or hypothesized relationships), and experimental (a term often equated with clinical or community trials of treatments and other interventions).
