In order to account for these differences between items in the chance of being a reference item in myogenous TMD patients, the number of any post-treatment value of a reference item was weighted according to this chance.
In a magnitude estimation task, participants are asked to rate experimental items in proportion to a reference item (the standard).
Once an item has been detected as a reference item, its Contrast-values contribute to the TDC-values of subsequent visits.
The distance protocols (2A and 2B) calculate the distance between a reference item and the closest prediction and will use this to calculate the performance.
Being a reference item of TDC, this decrease in VAS-score has occurred with a simultaneous decrease in score values of other items.
In order to diminish the influence of post-treatment score values from items which were rarely involved as reference items (thus attenuating the possible influence of many zero values from those items which rarely detect signs and symptoms), the number of any post-treatment value of any item was weighted again according to the chance of this item of being a reference item.

The intensity of the predominant pain in the masticatory system, scored on a 100 mm Visual Analogue Scale, was also a basic reference item.
When an increase in score value is sustained and a basic reference item is not involved, the item with the sustained larger score during treatment will likely also have a large score value in the data from the assessor following treatment.
In principle a single reference item is sufficient to estimate the slope.
For example, suppose that a sign or symptom, which is related to a potential added reference item, reaches a high level for a short time.
mean and (between brackets) SD values of TDC for two ways of attributing an initial Contrast-value of an added reference item at the visit of addition, i.e. (i) by calculating the Contrast between the large score value at addition with respect to the low value at baseline using equation (1) (see text), or (ii) by attributing the value zero as initial Contrast-value (cf. Discussion).
