Accelerometer measurement error in a randomized physical activity intervention trial in breast cancer survivors was nondifferential but attenuated the intervention effect by Laura Q. Rogers, Douglas Midthune, Kevin Dodd, Heather Bowles, Edward McAuley, Kerry S. Courneya, Brian Barrett, Spiro Razis, Gary R. Hunter, Stephen J. Carter, Raymond J. Carroll, Victor Kipnis

“…The trial included a sub-study (n = 106) wherein unbiased measures of total energy expenditure (doubly labeled water), and resting energy expenditure (indirect calorimetry) were collected. A linear mixed measurement error model characterized the structure of measurement error in accelerometry-estimated physical activity energy expenditure (PAEE), and corrected for bias in the estimated intervention effect due to measurement error. …”

Modeling the Meaning of Individual Words Using Cultural Cartography and Keystroke Dynamics by Tatiana A. Litvinova, Olga V. Dekhnich

“…., “cultural cartography using word embeddings”) and a new list of features developed by the authors to describe individual differences in the meaning of a word based on the data from neurobiology about the meaning structure of word. A set of data analysis methods (linear mixed models, principal components analysis, hierarchical clustering on principal components) implemented in R packages is used to reveal individual differences in the word meaning in terms of the proposed list of features and association of the revealed differences with participants’ characteristics. …”

The impact of deprivation and neighbourhood food environments on home food environments, parental feeding practices, child eating behaviours, food preferences and BMI: The Family F... by Andrea D Smith, Alice Kininmonth, Kristiane Tommerup, David Boniface, Chiara Gericke, Tiffany Denning, Carolyn Summerbell, Christina Vogel, Clare Llewellyn

“…Greater deprivation was also associated with a more obesogenic home food environment (β = -0.19, p < 0.001) and lower meal structure (β = 0.17, p < 0.001). Exposure to less healthy neighbourhood food environments around and between home and school were associated with a more obesogenic home food environment (β = -0.07, p < 0.01), but no significant associations were found with feeding practices, child eating behaviours or child BMI. …”
