Investigating Ceiling Effects in Longitudinal Data Analysis.
Score limitation at the top of a scale is commonly termed "ceiling effect." Ceiling effects can lead to serious artifactual parameter estimates in most data analysis. This study examines the consequences of ceiling effects in longitudinal data analysis and investigates several methods of dealing with ceiling effects through Monte Carlo simulations and empirical data analyses. Data were simulate...
متن کاملConditional Dependence in Longitudinal Data Analysis
Mixed models are widely used to analyze longitudinal data. In their conventional formulation as linear mixed models (LMMs) and generalized LMMs (GLMMs), a commonly indispensable assumption in settings involving longitudinal non-Gaussian data is that the longitudinal observations from subjects are conditionally independent, given subject-specific random effects. Although conventional Gaussian...
متن کاملLongitudinal Discriminant Analysis with Random Effects for Predicting Preeclampsia using Hematocrit Data
Background and Objectives: Preeclampsia is the third leading cause of death in pregnant women. This study was conducted to evaluate the ability of longitudinal hematocrit data to predict preeclampsia and to compare the accuracy in longitudinal and cross-sectional data. Materials and Methods: In a prospective cohort study from October 2010 to July 2011, 650 pregnant women referred to the prenata...
متن کاملFloor and ceiling effects in the OHS: an analysis of the NHS PROMs data set
OBJECTIVES The objective was to examine whether the Oxford Hip Score (OHS) demonstrated a floor or a ceiling effect when used to measure the outcome of hip replacement surgery in a large national cohort. SETTING Secondary database analysis of a national audit conducted in England and Wales on patient undergoing hip and knee arthroplasty in a secondary care setting. PARTICIPANTS 93 253 prima...
متن کاملDesign Effects in the Analysis of Longitudinal Survey Data
The design effect measures the inflation of the sampling variance of an estimator as a result of the use of a complex sampling scheme. It is usually measured relative to the variance of the estimator under simple random sampling. Many social survey designs employ multi-stage sampling, leading to some clustering of the sample and this tends to lead to design effects greater than unity. There is ...
