Calibration Curves: Linear Least Squares01:20

Calibration Curves: Linear Least Squares

1.4K
A calibration curve is a plot of the instrument's response against a series of known concentrations of a substance. This curve is used to set the instrument response levels, using the substance and its concentrations as standards. Alternatively, or additionally, an equation is fitted to the calibration curve plot and subsequently used to calculate the unknown concentrations of other samples reliably.
For data that follow a straight line, the standard method for fitting is the linear...

Longitudinal Research

12.0K
Sometimes we want to see how people change over time, as in studies of human development and lifespan. When we test the same group of individuals repeatedly over an extended period of time, we are conducting longitudinal research. Longitudinal research is a research design in which data-gathering is administered repeatedly over an extended period of time. For example, we may survey a group of individuals about their dietary habits at age 20, retest them a decade later at age 30, and then again...

Longitudinal Studies

194
Longitudinal studies are also widely used in other medical and social science fields. For instance, in cardiovascular research, they can monitor patients' health over decades to identify risk factors for heart disease, such as high cholesterol or smoking, and evaluate the long-term effectiveness of preventive measures. Similarly, in mental health studies, researchers might follow individuals from adolescence into adulthood to understand the development and progression of conditions like...

Calibration Curves: Correlation Coefficient01:10

Calibration Curves: Correlation Coefficient

1.7K
In a linear calibration curve, there is a value called the calibration coefficient, denoted by 'r,' which measures the strength and the direction of association between two variables. The correlation coefficient value ranges from −1 to +1. A value of +1 indicates a perfect positive linear correlation, −1 denotes a perfect negative correlation, and 0 implies no correlation between the two variables. A positive correlation value establishes that as one variable increases, the...

Instrument Calibration

233
Instrument calibration is essential for ensuring that instruments produce accurate and consistent results. It is vital in manufacturing, healthcare, testing laboratories, and scientific research. Calibration processes are specific to each instrument and help enhance data accuracy. Each instrument has a unique calibration process tailored to its design and function to improve data accuracy.
Analytical Balance Calibration
An analytical balance measures mass and requires regular calibration to...

Mechanistic Models: Compartment Models in Algorithms for Numerical Problem Solving

88
Mechanistic models play a crucial role in algorithms for numerical problem-solving, particularly in nonlinear mixed effects modeling (NMEM). These models aim to minimize specific objective functions by evaluating various parameter estimates, leading to the development of systematic algorithms. In some cases, linearization techniques approximate the model using linear equations.
In individual population analyses, different algorithms are employed, such as Cauchy's method, which uses a...

  • Biostatistics
  • Longitudinal Data Analysis
  • Functional Data Analysis

Background:

  • Time-varying covariates in longitudinal studies are often measured asynchronously and with error.
  • Existing methods like last-observation-carried-forward and kernel-based approaches have limitations including bias and slow convergence.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose a novel functional calibration approach for efficiently learning longitudinal covariate processes.
  • To address challenges posed by sparse, asynchronous, and error-prone functional data in regression analysis.

Main Methods:

  • Developed a functional calibration method rooted in functional principal component analysis.
  • Calibrates unobserved synchronized covariate values from observed asynchronous and error-prone data.
  • Applicable to longitudinal regression with time-invariant or time-varying coefficients.

Main Results:

  • The proposed estimator is asymptotically unbiased, root-n consistent, and asymptotically normal for time-invariant coefficient models.
  • For time-varying coefficient models, the estimator achieves optimal convergence rates with manageable asymptotic variance inflation.
  • Demonstrated superior asymptotic properties compared to existing methods.

Conclusions:

  • The functional calibration approach effectively handles asynchronous and error-prone longitudinal data.
  • Validated through simulations and application to the Study of Women's Health Across the Nation.
  • Offers improved statistical efficiency and properties for longitudinal regression analysis.
