ANLY482 AY2016-17 T2 Group23 Silver Daisies Analysis and Findings
Contents
Univariate Analysis
Appointment Duration (Response Variable)
We performed univariate analysis on appointment duration to find out the current distribution and summary statistics and obtained the following results:
- Mean duration: 1:22
- Median duration: 1:12
- Standard deviation: 0:47
- Non-parametric distribution
Bivariate Analysis
We performed bivariate analysis on each independent variable to find out their individual effect on appointment duration and obtained the following main findings:
Appointment Clinic
The median duration differs from clinic to clinic. The longer average appointment duration includes SNEC (Singapore National Eye Center), NUH (National University Hospital), and NCC (National Cancer Centre). The shorter durations mainly come from neighborhood polyclinics, such as Geylang polyclinic, BMP (Bukit Merah Polyclinic), and CWC (Community Wellness Centre).
Appointment Purpose
Escort
Analyzing the appointment durations when there is Next-of-kin accompaniment vs Family (more than 1 NOK) accompaniment vs Medical escort accompaniment, we see a difference in median appointment durations. We conducted a Oneway Anova analysis (Appendix 4) and conclude that medical escort is significantly higher than Family & NOK escort but not significantly different between NOK and Family escort.
