We are testing two imaging machines. One of the machines has been validated numerous times. However, we built the new machine and we need to prove that it is similar/comparable to the validated machine. So, the machines image a certain tube and determine a physical property. With several image...

I have two data set (training and validation) for building and validating a Cox model. With the training data set I fitted a cox model using stepwise selection method. The significant variables in the model were the only variables included in the validation model. Is this the right...

Dear all, I would like to request your help and opinions on a meta-analysis setup utilizing two completely independent cancer cohorts, where one acts as discovery data set, while the other is meant as validation cohort. To 'integrate' both cohorts, I would like to select genes by FDR in...

My professor has asked me to do a validation study but I have never done one before and don't know what methodology or statistics to use. Basically the original study took a personality assessment with 27 scales and compared it to an ADHD assessment. A stepwise regression identified six scales...

I have time series data of about 150 sample and 8 variables. It is used to generate a interaction network, whose exact structure is not known yet. I can propose a model using two ways: First approach, use 100 variable as training (derivation) data and 50 for testing (validation) set. This...

I was recently asked to correlate scores between two surveys that supposedly measure similar constructs. One has a value-based scale (very like me, somewhat like me, neither like or unlike me, somewhat Unlike me, very unlike me). The other has a frequency-based scale (never, rarely, sometimes...

Hi, I am doing a lexical study, identifying personality factor structure of the Malay language adjectives. I have three datasets: 1) The Malay adjective checklist 2) The Big-Five Mini Marker scale 3) The 60 items HEXACO PI My research objectives are to: 1) Examine the factor...

Hello, I am currently working on the development and validation of a new scale. The process went well so far, and I ended up with a higher order solution (4 subscales/factors on the first level, of which 2 load on a common second-order factor). Since the two first-order factors, which share a...

Dear Forum, I'm looking for advice on how to validate a measure of behavioral intent. here's a simplified example: let's say that I did a study on 5 products - I sampled 100 people and asked them to state how likely they were to purchase each product. Then, each of the products...

Hi all, I have two gels of different crosslinking densities (gels A, n = 3, and gels B, n = 3). The gold standard test of substrate MODULUS detects muA = ~4 and muB = ~8. I invented a new engineering tool that calibrates the shear STIFFNESS of a sample (related to modulus through an...
