The city had asked for a change in the way its debt ceiling is calculated, which would require a change in the State Constitution, but that proposal went nowhere.
Additionally, floor and ceiling effects were calculated.
Floor and ceiling effects were calculated for each domain of the ePDQ.
Floor and ceiling effects were calculated to ensure responses were not biased to extreme values.
Floor and ceiling effects were calculated to ensure responses were not biased to extreme values (see Table 1).
Floor and ceiling effects were calculated as the percentage of patients showing, respectively, the lowest and highest values for the instrument.
Mean, standard deviations, measures of skewness and kurtosis, and floor and ceiling effects were calculated for each scale of the KIDSCREEN-52 proxy version.
The rates of floor and ceiling effects were calculated as the proportion of patients who obtained the lowest and highest possible scores, respectively, of each domain or scale and were considered to be present when they exceeded 10%.
In order to guarantee the acceptability of the PDQ-39 and PDQ-8 scales, floor and ceiling effects were calculated to report the relative frequency of extreme answers to the items, which should be less than 15% [ 19].
In order to determine suitability of the NHP and SF-36 questionnaire to measure HRQOL, the percentages of patients obtaining the worst possible score of 0 (floor effect) and the best possible scores of 100 (ceiling effect) were calculated.
Mean, standard deviations, score range, and percentage of patients with the worst possible (floor effect) and best possible theoretical scores (ceiling effect) were calculated in order to examine the score distribution.
