Action prediction during real-time social interactions in infancy (2019)
Conference Proceeding
Monroy, C., Chen, C., & Houston, D. (2019). Action prediction during real-time social interactions in infancy.

Developmental theory considers action prediction as one of several processes involved in determining how infants come to perceive and understand social events (Gredebäck & Daum, 2015). Action prediction is observed from early in life and is considere... Read More about Action prediction during real-time social interactions in infancy.

Determining sample size for progression criteria using hypothesis testing in pragmatic pilot RCTs (2019)
Conference Proceeding
Lewis, M., Bromley, K., McCray, G., Sutton, C., & Lancaster, G. (2019). Determining sample size for progression criteria using hypothesis testing in pragmatic pilot RCTs.

Introduction: The current CONSORT guidelines for reporting of pilot trials do not recommend hypothesis testing of clinical outcomes on the basis of a pilot trial being under-powered to detect such differences and this being the aim of the main tria...

Measuring Similarity Between Discontinuous Intervals - Challenges and Solutions (2019)
Conference Proceeding
Kabir, S., Wagner, C., Havens, T. C., & Anderson, D. T. (in press). Measuring Similarity Between Discontinuous Intervals - Challenges and Solutions. . https://doi.org/10.1109/fuzz-ieee.2019.8858862

Discontinuous intervals (DIs) arise in a wide range of contexts, from real world data capture of human opinion to α-cuts of non-convex fuzzy sets. Commonly, for assessing the similarity of DIs, the latter are converted into their continuous form, fol...
