Reliability measures in knowledge structure theory

British Journal of Mathematical and Statistical Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract In knowledge structure theory (KST) framework, this study evaluates the reliability of knowledge state estimation by introducing two key measures: the expected accuracy rate and the expected discrepancy. The accuracy rate quantifies the likelihood that the estimated knowledge state aligns with the true state, while the expected discrepancy ...

Enhancing generalizability theory with mixed‐effects models for heteroscedasticity in psychological measurement: A theoretical introduction with an application from EEG data

British Journal of Mathematical and Statistical Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract Generalizability theory (G‐theory) defines a statistical framework for assessing measurement reliability by decomposing observed variance into meaningful components attributable to persons, facets, and error. Classic G‐theory assumes homoscedastic residual variances across measurement conditions, an assumption that is often violated in ...

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 ...

L‐VISP: LSTM Visualization for Interpretable Symptom Prediction in Patient Cohorts

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
L‐VISP is a human‐machine solution that uses visual analytics for LSTM modelling in clinical research. L‐VISP uses custom visual encodings to make multiple LSTM variants interpretable, supporting a full range of analysis, from understanding model operations and evaluating performance to interpreting results in a clinical context.

ITGA5 as a Dual Regulator of Epithelial‐Mesenchymal Transition and Epithelial Cell Anoikis Resistance: Functional Validation and Drug Prediction

Cell Proliferation, EarlyView.
Proteomics and functional validation reveal ITGA5 as a dual promoter of epithelial‐mesenchymal transition and anoikis resistance in human bronchial epithelium: targeting ITGA5 represents a novel therapeutic strategy for asthma airway remodelling. ABSTRACT Airway remodelling is a major contributor to persistent airflow limitation and irreversible lung ...

Technologies for equine welfare and performance monitoring under field conditions – Where do we stand?

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract The need for comprehensive equine welfare assessments has become particularly evident amid ongoing debates about the social licence to operate in equestrian sports. During exercise, multiple physiological systems, principally the cardiovascular, respiratory, muscular, thermoregulatory, endocrine, and locomotory systems, undergo complex ...

The Development and Validation of the Partial Denture Experience Questionnaire (P‐DEQ): Reliability and Validity

Gerodontology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction This paper describes the development and preliminary validation of the Partial Denture Experience Questionnaire (P‐DEQ), a new, condition‐specific instrument designed to measure the multifaceted impacts of living with removable dentures. Methods The P‐DEQ was developed using a multi‐phase, mixed‐methods design. Item generation was

The Roles of Vocabulary Size, Word Part Knowledge, and Semantic Transparency in Vocabulary Learning Through the Word Part Technique

International Journal of Applied Linguistics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigated the influence of learner‐ and word‐related variables on L2 vocabulary learning through the word part technique (WPT), a morphological mnemonic designed to strengthen form–meaning associations through knowledge of affixes and stems.
