Age‐related long‐term effects of vaginal delivery, pregnancy, and sphincter injury on anal continence: A matched cohort study

open access: yesActa Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica, EarlyView.
Long‐term fecal incontinence was more common and severe after two vaginal deliveries and twice as high following obstetric anal sphincter injury. An age‐related increase in fecal incontinence appeared after two vaginal deliveries but was not observed after cesarean delivery or in nulliparas.

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

open access: yesBritish 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.

A Bayes factor framework for unified parameter estimation and hypothesis testing

open access: yesBritish Journal of Mathematical and Statistical Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract The Bayes factor, the data‐based updating factor of the prior to posterior odds of two hypotheses, is a natural measure of statistical evidence for one hypothesis over the other. We show how Bayes factors can also be used for parameter estimation.

From tetrachoric to kappa: How to assess reliability on binary scales

open access: yesBritish Journal of Mathematical and Statistical Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract Reliability is crucial in psychometrics, reflecting the extent to which a measurement instrument can discriminate between individuals or items. While classical test theory and intraclass correlation coefficients are well‐established for quantitative scales, estimating reliability for binary outcomes presents unique challenges due to their ...

To vary or not to vary: A flexible empirical Bayes factor for testing variance components

open access: yesBritish Journal of Mathematical and Statistical Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract Random effects are the gold standard for capturing structural heterogeneity, such as individual differences or temporal dependence. Yet testing their presence is difficult because variance components are constrained to be non‐negative, creating a boundary problem. This paper introduces a flexible empirical Bayes factor (EBF) for testing random
