Broken Stick Model for Irregular Longitudinal Data

Many longitudinal studies collect data that have irregular observation times, often requiring the application of linear mixed models with time-varying outcomes. This paper presents an alternative that splits the quantitative analysis into two steps. …

Reference chart for knee flexion following total knee arthroplasty: A novel tool for monitoring postoperative recovery

BACKGROUND: Clinicians and patients lack an evidence-based framework by which to judge individual-level recovery following total knee arthroplasty (TKA) surgery, thus impeding personalized treatment approaches for this elective surgery. Our study …

Graphical uncertainty representations for ensemble predictions

We investigated how different graphical representations convey the underlying uncertainty distribution in ensemble predictions. In ensemble predictions, a set of forecasts is produced, indicating the range of possible future states. Adopting a use …

Curve matching: A data-driven technique to improve individual prediction of childhood growth

Longitudinal growth data are valuable for predicting and in- terpreting future growth of individual children. This note explores the idea of **curve matching**, a new technique to improve prediction of future growth of an individual child. The key …
