In patients whose neurocognitive testing results were evaluable (based on prespecified criteria for the validity of the cognitive tests, n = 267), the effect of lurasidone 160 mg/d on cognitive performance (LS mean change 0.5, SE 0.24) was superior to both placebo (–0.16, SE 0.23, p = 0.038) and quetiapine XR (–0.24, SE 0.23, p = 0.018), as assessed by the CogState composite Z-score.
Taking into consideration that the GPAQ was initially developed as a surveillance tool, to be used for evaluation and comparison of PA levels on both a local and international scale, it is important that the limited evidence base for its validity is further developed, particularly for use in behaviour change interventions [ 21, 22].
Most other studies have not collected cases and controls from the same study base, which is very important for the validity of the comparison between cases and controls.
For these reasons, we chose hostility, as assessed with the Chinese Hostility Inventory, as a validity base for the Type D construct.
Students' performance on decontextualized bar tasks involving continuous quantities was found to be consistent with students' level of unit coordination based on written work providing evidence for the validity of stage categorizations.
Exact confidence intervals based on binomial probabilities were calculated for the validity measures [ 33], using Stata version 12 (Stata Corp., College Station, TX).
We develop a hypothesis test based on permutation testing, and describe a sufficient condition for the validity of the hypothesis test based on automorphism groups of the graphs involved in the hypothesis test.
The idea that in communicating hydrocephalus and in infants there is a cortical source of CSF and a sink for fluid in the ventricles via the parenchyma (or possibly the choroid plexuses) is based primarily on the validity of results for reverse net flow in the aqueduct.
The bases for the control of the validity of the Directive were the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea ("UNCLOS") and the International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships of 1973 and its Protocol of 1978 ("Marpol 73/78").
Moreover, development of the questionnaire employed in the current investigation involved a large number of clinicians and researchers focused on the discipline of interest, which, along with the fact that we obtained responses from a considerable number of participants, has provided an extensive base for claiming face validity.
