Slide 6 uses Mann-Whitney U test on 10-50 mg patients what up with that.

Mann-Whitney U test is the non-parametric alternative test to the independent sample t-test. It is a non-parametric test that is used to compare two sample means that come from the same population, and used to test whether two sample means are equal or not. Usually, the Mann-Whitney U test is used when the data is ordinal or when the assumptions of the t-test are not met.

Sometimes understanding the Mann-Whitney U is difficult interpret because the results are presented in group rank differences rather than group mean differences. The Intellectus Statistics tool below interprets the analysis in plain English!

Assumptions of the Mann-Whitney:

Mann-Whitney U test is a non-parametric test, so it does not assume any assumptions related to the distribution of scores. There are, however, some assumptions that are assumed
1. The sample drawn from the population is random.
2. Independence within the samples and mutual independence is assumed. That means that an observation is in one group or the other (it cannot be in both).
3. Ordinal measurement scale is assumed.

Leqembi sets a nice low bar for 3-27 to beat.
It has very modest effect.
It has many serious side effects.
It is expensive to deliver.
It very expensive!
Many health plans will not cover it.
Low benefits with serious side effects and high cost.
No thanks!
