All other things being equal, the criterion of parsimony is a guiding principle in the sense that it enhances transparency and aids in the interpretation of scores. In this respect, the nonparametric model appears to be the most suitable approach, because it is easy to operationalize and ...
PGS are moving toward clinical implementation in many scenarios. As such multiple consortia of researchers and clinicians have put forward guidance on the use and interpretation of PGS, these include a statement from the Polygenic Risk Score Task Force of the International Common Disease Alliance (ICD...
walked scores—the suggestion being the preference-based scores may play more of a part in the measures' responsiveness than construct validity, which logically make sense given the 'construct' should stem from the descriptive system but 'responsiveness' will be related to the scoring algorithm used...
It also advocates indirect measures like the five-level EuroQoL Group's five-dimension ques- tionnaire (EQ-5D) using the scoring algorithm for Chinese population, over direct measures [4]. The EQ-5D is a widely used and internationally validated instrument measuring utility on a scale between ...

The distributions of individual answers were sometimes highly skewed, predominantly towards the high end of the scoring. However, as the sample size for all subgroups was large (n > 30), the comparisons of means were done under the assumption of normal distribution. The criteria used to ...
Interpretation There are two main drivers of differences between values in EQ-5D value sets: differences in scale and differences in the magnitudes of the coefficients of the underlying utility function relative to each other. Differences in scale between EQ-5D-3L value sets and EQ-VT based value...

This is because individuals from different cultures may have different ways of living, thinking, and expressing [2], leading to culture-specific interpretation of questionnaire items and/or response styles and difference in scale scores. When such difference is large enough, measurement equivalence ...
