Tests for equality of variances between two samples which contain both paired observations and independent observations (2018)
Journal Article

Tests for equality of variances between two samples which contain both paired observations and independent observations are explored using simulation. New solutions which make use of all of the available data are put forward. These new approaches are...

Does personal experience of dementia change attitudes? The Bristol and South Gloucestershire survey of dementia attitudes (2018)
Journal Article

Background: it is unclear how attitudes towards people with dementia are formed and whether, for instance, increased contact with people with dementia, either through work or personal experience alters attitudes. This study used a validated questionn... Read More about Does personal experience of dementia change attitudes? The Bristol and South Gloucestershire survey of dementia attitudes.

18 F-Fluorodeoxyglucose PET/CT and dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI as imaging biomarkers in malignant pleural mesothelioma (2018)
Journal Article

© 2018 Wolters Kluwer Health, Inc. All rights reserved. Purpose The purpose of this study was to compare the use of fluorine-18-fluorodeoxyglucose (18 F-FDG) PET with computed tomography (CT) and dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE) MRI to predict prognos...

A study protocol of the effectiveness of PEGASUS: A multi-centred study comparing an intervention to promote shared decision making about breast reconstruction with treatment as usual (2017)
Journal Article

© 2017 The Author(s). Background: Increasingly, women elect breast reconstruction after mastectomy. However, their expectations of surgery are often not met, and dissatisfaction with outcome and ongoing psychosocial concerns and distress are common....

Cluster-randomized controlled trial evaluating the effectiveness of computer-assisted intervention delivered by educators for children with speech sound disorders (2017)
Journal Article

© 2017 American Speech-Language-Hearing Association. Purpose: The aim was to evaluate the effectiveness of computer-assisted input-based intervention for children with speech sound disorders (SSD). Method: The Sound Start Study was a cluster-randomiz...

Test statistics for the comparison of means for two samples that include both paired and independent observations (2017)
Journal Article

©2017 JMASM, Inc. Standard approaches for analyzing the difference in two means, where partially overlapping samples are present, are less than desirable. Here are introduced two test statistics, making reference to the t-distribution. It is shown th...

How to compare the means of two samples that include paired observations and independent observations: A companion to Derrick, Russ, Toher and White (2017) (2017)
Journal Article

Standard approaches for comparing the means of two samples, comprising both paired observations and independent observations, involve the discarding of valuable information. An alternative test which uses all of the available data, is the partially o...
