Maintaining balance is a crucial daily skill, and impairments in postural control increase the risk of falls, particularly among older adults. This study aimed to assess the effect of attentional control on postural stability in young and older adults. The sample consisted of 43 participants (16 older adults, 12 women; 27 young adults, 13 women). Participants performed a series of 60-second...
Our systematic review indicates that optimal design methods are not yet applied in immunization studies in which modeling the antibody kinetics, i.e. the change of antibody concentration over time, is the main objective. We argue that this substantial underutilization is driven by several factors, including limited awareness of the advantages of optimal design and accessibility of convenient...
This paper focuses on drawing information on underlying processes, which are not directly observed in the data. In particular, we work with data in which only the total count of units in a system at a given time point is observed, but the underlying process of inflows, length of stay, and outflows is not. The particular data example looked at in this paper is the occupancy of intensive care...
Background: Risk prediction models are increasingly being used in clinical practice to predict health outcomes. These models are often developed using data from multiple centres (clustered data) where patient outcomes within a centre are likely to be correlated. It is important that the dataset used to develop a risk model is of an appropriate size, to avoid model overfitting problems and poor...
