Specific objectivity refers to that comparisons of persons level on the latent variable do not depend systematically on which items of the scale we use, and that comparisons of items do not depend on which persons in the sample we use, within the specific frame of reference.
We will conduct cost-effectiveness analysis (CEA) on person level cost and effect data using net benefit regression [ 117, 118].
Therefore, this study aims at transcending the cluster and combination methods in order to depict which diseases are associated with each other on person-level within the clusters and which ones are responsible for the overlapping of multimorbidity clusters.
The aim of this study was to depict which diseases were associated with each other on person-level within the clusters and which ones were responsible for overlapping multimorbidity clusters.
All analyses reported accounted for the complex survey design based on person-level weights that incorporated sample selection, non-response and post-stratification factors.
These figures can be interpreted that two diseases linked by an edge are often diagnosed together on person-level.
This is the first study that uses a systematic approach to integrate the two current methods to determine multimorbidity clusters in the older population and, therefore, includes information about the association between single diseases on person-level.
Exposure to a given stressor may be differentially experienced depending on person-level characteristics, and this study shows that mindful individuals are less encumbered by the mere exposure of a stressor which benefits health functioning.
A-CHESS has several functional capabilities, but most relevant to EMI is its ability to deliver tailored text messages based on person-level factors as well as time-varying factors (e.g., level of intrinsic motivation) that are assessed via EMA.
This is a strength in that tests can be constructed using only some items from a larger bank of items but still produce estimates of person level on the same metric as other tests using different items from the bank.
