Measurement Invariance, Entropy, and Probability

open access: yes, 2010
We show that the natural scaling of measurement for a particular problem defines the most likely probability distribution of observations taken from that measurement scale.

Measurement of statistical evidence on an absolute scale following thermodynamic principles [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Statistical analysis is used throughout biomedical research and elsewhere to assess strength of evidence. We have previously argued that typical outcome statistics (including p-values and maximum likelihood ratios) have poor measure-theoretic properties:

Psychosocial Outcomes in Patients With Endocrine Tumor Syndromes: A Systematic Review

open access: yesPediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction The combination of disease manifestations, the familial burden, and varying penetrance of endocrine tumor syndromes (ETSs) is unique. This review aimed to portray and summarize available data on psychosocial outcomes in patients with ETSs and explore gaps and opportunities for future research and care.

Optimising the measurement of relativistic distortions in large-scale structure

open access: yes, 2017
It has been shown recently that relativistic distortions generate a dipolar modulation in the two-point correlation function of galaxies. To measure this relativistic dipole it is necessary to cross-correlate different populations of galaxies with for ...

Measurement of anisotropies in the large-scale diffuse gamma-ray emission [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
We have performed the first measurement of the angular power spectrum in the large-scale diffuse emission at energies from 1-50 GeV. We compared results from data and a simulated model in order to identify significant differences in anisotropy properties.

Measuring behavior across scales [PDF]

open access: yesBMC Biology, 2018
The need for high-throughput, precise, and meaningful methods for measuring behavior has been amplified by our recent successes in measuring and manipulating neural circuitry. The largest challenges associated with moving in this direction, however, are not technical but are instead conceptual: what numbers should one put on the movements an animal is ...

The MedSupport Multilevel Intervention to Enhance Support for Pediatric Medication Adherence: Development and Feasibility Testing

open access: yesPediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction We developed MedSupport, a multilevel medication adherence intervention designed to address root barriers to medication adherence. This study sought to explore the feasibility and acceptability of the MedSupport intervention strategies to support a future full‐scale randomized controlled trial.

Green consumer orientation in cosmetic sector: construct definition, measurement scale development, and validation

open access: yesCogent Business & Management
Green consumption behavior remains ambiguous due to researchers’ difficulties in exploring its predictors. This study conceptualizes Green Consumer Orientation (GCO), a new construct that develops a standardized scale gathering and measuring predictors ...
