Accelerating Psychometric Screening Tests With Bayesian Active Differential Selection [PDF]

arXiv, 2020
Classical methods for psychometric function estimation either require excessive measurements or produce only a low-resolution approximation of the target psychometric function. In this paper, we propose a novel solution for rapid screening for a change in the psychometric function estimation of a given patient. We use Bayesian active model selection to

State of the psychometric methods: comments on the ISOQOL SIG psychometric papers [PDF]

Journal of Patient-Reported Outcomes, 2019
Psychometric analyses of patient reported outcomes typically use either classical test theory (CTT), item response theory (IRT), or Rasch measurement theory (RTM). The three papers from the ISOQOL Psychometrics SIG examined the same data set using the tree different approaches.

Beyond the Extra X and Y Chromosome: The Contribution of Familial Risk for Psychopathology to the Neurodevelopmental Phenotype of Children With Sex Chromosome Trisomy

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Individuals with an extra X or Y chromosome (sex chromosome trisomy or SCT) have an increased risk for symptoms of psychopathology and neurocognitive dysfunction. In this study, we evaluated the contribution of family history (FH) of neuropsychiatric or neurocognitive disorders to the phenotype of SCT. One hundred and six children with SCT and

Three‐ and five‐year follow‐up results of a randomized controlled trial on the effects of cognitive behavioral therapy before bariatric surgery

International Journal of Eating Disorders, Volume 55, Issue 12, Page 1824-1837, December 2022., 2022
Abstract Objective Up to 37% of bariatric surgery patients suffer from insufficient weight loss or weight regain and mental health symptoms in the longer term. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) may be an effective adjunct intervention to optimize patients' psychological functioning and weight loss results.

Evaluating an Automated Number Series Item Generator Using Linear Logistic Test Models

Journal of Intelligence, 2018
This study investigates the item properties of a newly developed Automatic Number Series Item Generator (ANSIG). The foundation of the ANSIG is based on five hypothesised cognitive operators. Thirteen item models were developed using the numGen R package

Items from Psychometric Tests as Training Data for Personality Profiling Models of Twitter Users [PDF]

arXiv, 2022
Machine-learned models for author profiling in social media often rely on data acquired via self-reporting-based psychometric tests (questionnaires) filled out by social media users. This is an expensive but accurate data collection strategy. Another, less costly alternative, which leads to potentially more noisy and biased data, is to rely on labels ...
