Guest guest Posted August 30, 2002 Report Share Posted August 30, 2002 Dear Todd: Great idea about the setup for those two research projects. I think you run into lots of trouble with the premise of " X patients with the same diagnosis, TCM " Goes back to the interexaminer reliability studies on TCM diagnostic methods, esp pulse. You might do better with X patients with a western disease, since your premise (that they all have the same disease) is easier to establish. Then of course, it would be great to establish that of the X patients, Chi Dx A was established N% of the time, B established P% of the time and C established Q% of the time.
