Product-event combination statistics

For each product-event combination, you can review a summary of statistics presented in a trend graph and a histogram.

The trend graph is a confidence interval graph in which the x-axis represents dates and the y-axis represents EBGM values for the product-event combination. In the line for each time period:

  • The point represents the EBGM value.
  • The lower end represents the EB05 value.
  • The upper end represents the EB95 value.

The histogram that appears below the trend graph shows reporting frequency for the product-event combination. The x-axis represents dates and the y-axis represents counts of cases that contain the product-event combination.

Field descriptions—Statistical score

The statistical score that might appear for each product-event combination includes the following rows:

Field Description

EB05

A value such that there is approximately a 5% probability that the true Relative Ratio lies below it. The interval from EB05 to EB95 might be considered to be the 90% confidence interval.

EB95

A value such that there is approximately a 5% probability that the true Relative Ratio lies above it. The interval from EB05 to EB95 might be considered to be the 90% confidence interval.

EBGM

Empirical Bayesian Geometric Mean. A more stable estimate than RR; the so-called shrinkage estimate, computed as the geometric mean of the posterior distribution of the true Relative Ratio. For more information, see MGPS computations.

N

Observed number of cases with the combination of items.

PRR

Proportional Reporting Ratio for the combination of a particular product and particular event.

PRR_CHISQ

Chi-square of PRR. For more information, see PRR computations.

ROR05

Lower 5% confidence limit for ROR.

ROR95

Upper 5% confidence limit for ROR. The interval from ROR05 to ROR95 might be considered to be the 90% confidence interval.

ROR

Reporting Odds Ratio. Computed as: ROR = (PRR_A * PRR_D) / (PRR_B * PRR_C) With stratification, ROR is computed as a weighted average of the ROR within each stratum. For more information, see ROR computations.
