Analysis of caries experience taking inter-observer bias and variability into account

Description : In larger oral health surveys, clinical measurements are often obtained using several examiners. This raises the issue of inter-observer variability in measurement. Often, the problem is dealt with by reporting kappa values obtained in a calibration exercise. In the present study, the limitations of...

Modelling tooth emergence data based on multivariate interval-censored data

Description : Studies on emergence of (permanent) teeth are published regularly in the dental literature. Besides descriptive statistics (mean or median values) on emergence times, comparisons between boys and girls are of interest. Gender comparisons are intersubject analyses, but also intrasubject questions, li...

Group sequential methods for an ordinal logistic random-effects model under misspecification

Description : Interim analyses in clinical trials are planned for ethical as well as economic reasons. General results have been published in the literature that allow the use of standard group sequential methodology if one uses an efficient test statistic, e.g., when Wald-type statistics are used in random-effec...

On the variability of covariate adjustment: experience with Koch's method for evaluating the absolute difference in proportions in randomized clinical trials

Description : recently Koch et al. suggested an interesting approach for covariate adjustment in randomized clinical trials. Here we report our experience with the approach in Assent II, a large randomized trial comparing 30-day mortality rates of two thrombolytic treatments. Data from the Gusto-I study and a re...

A Bayesian ordinal logistic regression model to correct for interobserver measurement error in a geographical oral health study

Description : We present an approach for correcting for interobserver measurement error in an ordinal logistic regression model taking into account also the variability of the estimated correction terms. The different scoring behaviour of the 16 examiners complicated the identification of a geographical trend in ...
