Small area variations in surgical rates: Simulation as an aid in interpretation of findings.
Purpose. To explore Monte Carlo simulation for interpretation of small area variations in surgical rates. Methods. Simulation was used to generate sets of surgical rates under the null hypothesis of equal rates. The distributions of the extremal quotient, coefficient of variation, chi square, system...
