# ORISE research fellowships: choose a project and prepare the application

## Report missingness before comparing results

Original synthetic research exercise, with no patient or personal data.

### Two groups with incomplete measurements

| Group | Positive | Negative | Missing | Observed denominator |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| A | 18 | 72 | 10 | 90 |
| B | 24 | 56 | 20 | 80 |

## Your turn

Calculate positive fractions among observed results and extreme-case bounds across all 100 planned observations. Explain why the bounds are not confidence intervals.

## Your answer

[Write your approach here.]

## For your own application

Choose one actual research or course example where a data limitation changed how you described the result.
