Estimating Components of Mean Squared Error to Evaluate the Benefits of Mixing Data Collection Modes KU Leuven
Mixed mode data collection designs are increasingly being adopted with the hope that they may reduce selection errors in single mode survey designs. Yet possible reductions in selection errors achieved by mixing modes may be offset by a potential increase in total survey error due to extra measurement error being introduced by the additional mode(s). Few studies have investigated this empirically, however. In the ...
Estimating Components of Mean Squared Error to Evaluate the Benefits of Mixing Data Collection Modes KU Leuven
Mixed mode data collection designs are increasingly being adopted with the hope that they may reduce selection errors in single mode survey designs. Yet possible reductions in selection errors achieved by mixing modes may be offset by a potential increase in total survey error due to extra measurement error being introduced by the additional mode(s). Few studies have investigated this empirically, however. In the present study, we compute the ...
Subject-Specific Spino-Pelvic Models Reliably Measure Spinal Kinematics During Seated Forward Bending in Adult Spinal Deformity KU Leuven
Image-based subject-specific models and simulations are recently being introduced to complement current state-of-the-art mostly static insights of the adult spinal deformity (ASD) pathology and improve the often poor surgical outcomes. Although the accuracy of a recently developed subject-specific modeling and simulation framework has already been quantified, its reliability to perform marker-driven kinematic analyses has not yet been ...
Scared but Powerful: Healthcare Chaplains’ Emotional Responses and Self-Care Modes During The SARS-Cov-19 Pandemic KU Leuven
Drawing from both the qualitative free-text responses and quantitative responses to an international survey of 1657 chaplains serving during the SARS-Cov-19 pandemic, we explore chaplains' emotional responses to the pandemic and how emotion connects to self-care. This paper reports on the modes of self-care practiced by chaplains, including modes reported as unavailable due to pandemic restrictions. Lastly, we explore how effective spiritual ...
Retirement timing of dual-earner couples in 11 European countries? A comparison of cox and shared frailty models University of Antwerp
Retirement is not only an individual decision, it is a decision taken within a family system. The extent to which estimates of retirement predictors are biased by the clustering of older workers (50 years of age or older) into dual-earner households remains unclear. Using longitudinal data on 11 European countries from the first (2004/ 2005) and second (2006/2007) waves of the Survey on Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe (SHARE), this study ...
The economics of culture: shared mental models and exchange in the Roman business world Ghent University
A prospective study comparing the predictions of doctors versus models for treatment outcome of lung cancer patients: A step toward individualized care and shared decision making KU Leuven
BACKGROUND: Decision Support Systems, based on statistical prediction models, have the potential to change the way medicine is being practiced, but their application is currently hampered by the astonishing lack of impact studies. Showing the theoretical benefit of using these models could stimulate conductance of such studies. In addition, it would pave the way for developing more advanced models, based on genomics, proteomics and imaging ...
