METHOD, SYSTEM, AND SOFTWARE FOR ANALYZING PHARMACOVIGILANCEDATA

摘要

A computer-implemented method of analyzing a dataset of pharmacovigilance
data, includes determining a sample size-independent measure of association
between two conditions of interest in the dataset of pharmacovigilance data;
using a hypergeometric distribution to determine a measure of statistical
unexpectedness between the conditions of interest in said dataset, wherein the
distribution is based on an urn model under a hypothesis that the conditions
are statistically independent; and displaying the measure of association with
the measure of the statistical unexpectedness to identify a significant
association between conditions of interest.
