1. Some properties of measures of disagreement and disorder in paired ordinal data
Sammanfattning : The measures studied in this thesis were a measure of disorder, D, and a measure of the individual part of the disagreement, the measure of relative rank variance, RV, proposed by Svensson in 1993. The measure of disorder is a useful measure of order consistency in paired assessments of scales with a different number of possible values. LÄS MER
2. On Rank-invariant Methods for Ordinal Data
Sammanfattning : Data from rating scale assessments have rank-invariant properties only, which means that the data represent an ordering, but lack of standardized magnitude, inter-categorical distances, and linearity. Even though the judgments often are coded by natural numbers they are not really metric. LÄS MER
3. Nonparametric tests for comparing two treatments by using ordinal data
Sammanfattning : This thesis concerns four nonparametric tests for comparing two treatments in a randomized controlled clinical trial when the main response variable generates discrete or continuous ordinal data and measurements are made at baseline and follow-up. In the Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney test (WMW) the baseline values are not taken into account at all, but in the other three tests both baseline and follow-up values are used. LÄS MER
4. Everyday life activities of people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease : performance, management and everyday technology use
Sammanfattning : Background: When a person is living with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), his/her participation in everyday life activities is challenged due to a complex multitude of symptoms. Moreover, everyday technology utilised in daily life at home and in society also impacts on participation in everyday life activities. LÄS MER
