  • The epidemiology of traumatic event exposure worldwide

    Open AccessCorina Benjet, Evelyn J Bromet et al.ARTICLEPsychological Medicine2016

  • Applying the Bootstrap to Taxometric Analysis

    John Ruscio, Ayelet Meron Ruscio et al.ARTICLEMultivariate Behavioral Research2007

    Meehl's taxometric method was developed to distinguish categorical and continuous constructs. However, taxometric output can be difficult to interpret because expected results for realistic data conditions and differing procedural implementations have not been derived analytically or studied through rigorous simulations. By applying bootstrap methodology, one can generate empirical sampling distributions of taxometric results using data-based est…
