The applications of Bayesian models in real-world studies of traditional Chinese medicine: a primer
Journal Title: Traditional Medicine Research - Year 2017, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
Real-world study is valuable for traditional Chinese medicine. However, there are no gold standards of statistical approaches for analyzing data from real-world study of traditional Chinese medicine. With the development of computer technology, researchers have increasingly paid attention to Bayesian statistics in the biomedical field. In present study, real-world study and Bayesian statistics were introduced. It was discussed that why and when to use Bayesian analysis and the challenge in the real-world study of traditional Chinese medicine.
