Development of a Disease Activity Index for the Assessment of VEXAS Syndrome (VEXAS‐DAI)

open access: yesArthritis Care &Research, Accepted Article.
Objective VEXAS syndrome is characterized by a complex spectrum of inflammatory and hematologic manifestations. Clinical research to identify effective therapies is urgently needed but is hindered by the lack of validated outcome measures. A VEXAS‐specific disease activity index (DAI) is an essential tool for reliably capturing changes in disease ...

Longitudinal Changes in Adiposity After a Youth Sport‐Related Knee Injury: Informing Posttraumatic Osteoarthritis Prevention

open access: yesArthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective Youth who experience a sport‐related knee injury have elevated odds of becoming overweight or developing obesity in 3 to 10 years, compounding their risk for posttraumatic osteoarthritis (PTOA). To inform prevention strategies, this study compared patterns of adiposity change between youth with a sport‐related knee injury and uninjured youth ...

Criterion-related construct validity

Psychometrika, 1989
Established results on latent variable models are applied to the study of the validity of a psychological test. When the test predicts a criterion by measuring a unidimensional latent construct, not only must the total score predict the criterion, but the joint distribution of criterion scores and item responses must exhibit a certain pattern.

Discriminatory Power - An Obsolete Validation Criterion?

SSRN Electronic Journal, 2008
In this paper we analyse two common measures of discriminatory power - the Accuracy Ratio and the Area Under the Receiver Operator Characteristic - in a probabilistic framework. Under the assumption of a random default event, we verify that the measures will be portfolio dependent as discovered by Hamerle et al.

A Validity Criterion for Fuzzy Clustering

2011
This paper describes a new validity index for fuzzy clustering: Pattern Distances Ratio (PDR) and some modifications improving its performance as cluster number selection criterion for Fuzzy C-means. It also presents experimental results concerning them.

Criterion Validity of a Coping Measure

Journal of Personality Assessment, 1994
A paucity of evidence for the validity of coping questionnaires prompted investigation of the Coping Strategy Indicator (CSI; Amirkhan, 1990), a self-report measure of three fundamental modes of coping that has already demonstrated considerable psychometric strength.

An Internal Criterion of Test Validity

Psychological Reports, 1968
It has been suggested that the procedures of construct validation include at least two distinct processes: one is the validation of the test for measuring a hypothesized construct and the other is the validation of the construct, i.e., its usefulness and significance as a part of a theoretical system.
