Exploring How Known‐Answer Questions Are Used in Conversations About Funerals Between People With Learning Disabilities and Support Staff

British Journal of Learning Disabilities, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background People with learning disabilities should be involved in conversations around funerals. Conversation‐starter pictures were developed to support funeral conversations between people with a learning disability and support staff.

IRT‐based response style models and related methodology: Review and commentary

British Journal of Mathematical and Statistical Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract We provide a review and commentary on recent methodological research related to item response theory (IRT) modelling of response styles in psychological measurement. Our review describes the different categories of IRT models that have been proposed, their associated assumptions and extensions, and the varying purposes they can serve.

Differential item functioning detection across multiple groups

British Journal of Mathematical and Statistical Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract Differential item functioning (DIF) can be investigated by estimating item response theory (IRT) parameters separately for different respondent groups, thus allowing for the detection of discrepancies in parameter estimates across groups. However, before comparing the estimates, it is necessary to convert them to a common metric due to the ...

Using multilabel classification neural network to detect intersectional DIF with small sample sizes

British Journal of Mathematical and Statistical Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract This study introduces InterDIFNet, a multilabel classification neural network for detecting intersectional differential item functioning (DIF) in educational and psychological assessments, with a focus on small sample sizes. Unlike traditional marginal DIF methods, which often fail to capture the effects of intersecting identities and require ...

Composite marginal likelihood estimation of higher‐order diagnostic classification models under high dimensionality

British Journal of Mathematical and Statistical Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract Although full‐information maximum likelihood (FIML) estimation is widely used for diagnostic classification models (DCMs), its computational efficiency deteriorates sharply in high‐dimensional settings. This scalability challenge is increasingly critical as DCMs are applied to large‐scale assessments, psychological testing and longitudinal ...

Refining effect size measures and classification for differential item functioning: Toward unified guidelines across methods

British Journal of Mathematical and Statistical Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract Differential Item Functioning (DIF) analysis is used to identify potentially biased items in multi‐item measurements. In addition to testing the statistical significance, it is essential to evaluate the practical significance of DIF through effect size measures.

AI‐Based Analysis of Tumor‐Infiltrating Lymphocytes and Homologous Recombination in Ovarian Cancer: JGOG3025‐A1 Study

Cancer Science, EarlyView.
AI‐based spatial analysis of tumor‐infiltrating lymphocytes in ovarian cancer revealed the highest infiltration in high‐grade serous carcinoma. Integrating pathology‐based immune phenotypes with HRD status provided additional prognostic insight and highlighted distinct relationships between TILs and genomic structure.

Establishing Shape Correspondences: A Survey

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract Shape correspondence between surfaces in 3D is a central problem in geometry processing, concerned with establishing meaningful relations between surfaces. While all correspondence problems share this goal, specific formulations can differ significantly: Downstream applications require certain properties that correspondences must satisfy ...

Lichen Planus Pemphigoides: A Clinical, Histopathological, and Immunological Report of 12 Indian Patients

Indian Dermatology Online Journal
Background: Lichen planus pemphigoides (LPP) is a rare autoimmune subepidermal blistering disease presenting with lichenoid papules and plaques and tense blisters. There is a paucity of literature on LPP globally.
