evaluation of medical data.

Several statistical techniques can be used to evaluate medical data. Predictive techniques can be used to detect disease outbreaks, predict hospital readmissions, and determining best practices in care plans.  Evaluate how medical data is used to make predictions such as those listed. This evaluation should include a complete description of the statistical technique, how it is used to analyze data, and the type of problem the chosen technique is best used to solve. A strong connection to examples from research is expected.
