Score Tests for Semiparametric Zero-inflated Poisson Models
International Journal of Statistics and Probability, 2012 Count data sets often produce many zeros. It is sometimes potentially questionable to use a linear predictor to model the effect of a continuous covariate of interest in zero-inflated count data. To relax the restriction, Li (2011) proposed a semiparametric zero-inflated Poisson (ZIP) regression model by using fixed-knot cubic $basis$ splines or $B ...

Using the Introduction of a New Test to Investigate the Distribution of Score Inflation
, 2020 High-stakes testing can induce undesirable forms of test preparation and score inflation. This study uses changes in relative performance when a test is replaced to investigate the distribution of score inflation.

Comments on "'Lake Woebegone,' Twenty Years Later"
Nonpartisan Education Review, 2006 J. J. Cannell’s article on the so-called “Lake Woebegone” effect for K-12 educational testing systems is mostly an historical account of technical issues and policy considerations that led in part to development of new types of test instruments for K-12 ...

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Objective To investigate which baseline clinical and imaging characteristics best predict TSPO‐PET‐measurable reduction in glial activation following treatment of multiple sclerosis (MS), to utilize this information for designing more efficient biomarker‐based clinical trials targeting glial activation.

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Objective Progression independent of relapse activity is a major determinant of long‐term disability in multiple sclerosis, but its immunopathologic basis remains incompletely understood. We investigated whether relapse‐independent progression in radiologically stable relapsing–remitting multiple sclerosis is associated with distinct ...
