Nonlinear mixed-effects modeling of MNREAD data.

Investigative Opthalmology & Visual Science, 2008
It is often difficult to estimate parameters from individual clinical data because of noisy or incomplete measurements. Nonlinear mixed-effects (NLME) modeling provides a statistical framework for analyzing population parameters and the associated variations, even when individual data sets are incomplete. The authors demonstrate the application of NLME

Extending the MNREAD sentence corpus: Computer-generated sentences for measuring visual performance in reading

Vision Research, 2019
The MNREAD chart consists of standardized sentences printed at 19 sizes in 0.1 logMAR steps. There are 95 sentences distributed across the five English versions of the chart. However, there is a demand for a much larger number of sentences: for clinical research requiring repeated measures, and for new vision tests that use multiple trials at each ...
