Use of computerised adaptive testing to reduce the number of items in patient-reported hip and knee outcome scores: an analysis of the NHS England National Patient-Reported Outcome... by Jose Maria Valderas, Andrew D Toms, Jonathan Peter Evans, Christopher Gibbons

“…Objective Over 160 000 participants per year complete the 12-item Oxford Hip and Knee Scores (OHS/OKS) as part of the NHS England Patient-Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) programme. We used a modern computational approach, known as computerised adaptive testing (CAT), to simulate individually tailored OHS and OKS assessment, with the goal of reducing the number of questions a patient must complete without compromising measurement accuracy.Methods We fit the 2018/2019 PROMs data to an item response theory (IRT) model. …”

Novel Multiple Criteria Group Decision-Making Method Based on Hesitant Fuzzy Clustering Algorithm by Hongya Bian, Deqing Li, Yuang Liu, Rong Ma, Wenyi Zeng, Zeshui Xu

“…The aim of this paper is to investigate the multiple criteria group decision-making problem in which the evaluation values provided by experts construct some hesitant fuzzy numbers. We first analyze the characteristics of hesitant fuzzy number (HFN) and define the concept of feature vector of HFN. …”

MetaRange.jl: A Dynamic and Metabolic Species Range Model for Plant Species by Jana Blechschmidt, Juliano Sarmento Cabral

“…This slow adoption is largely due to the challenges in calibrating biological parameters and the high computational demands for large‐scale applications. Moreover, increasing the number of simulated processes (i.e., mechanistic complexity) may further exacerbate those reasons of delay. …”
