Package 'rmcorr'

Title: Repeated Measures Correlation
Description: Compute the repeated measures correlation, a statistical technique for determining the overall within-individual relationship among paired measures assessed on two or more occasions, first introduced by Bland and Altman (1995). Includes functions for diagnostics, p-value, effect size with confidence interval including optional bootstrapping, as well as graphing. Also includes several example datasets.

Nested and multivariate survey measures of hospital patient experience and other measures

Description

A summary dataset from non-independent units of analysis (six regions nesting 50 U.S. states and 3 U.S. territories) with multivariate (composite) measures. This is a survey assessing patient experience for hospitalized care, the Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (HCAHPS) Survey; also referred to as the CAHPS® Hospital Survey. The data were publicly released in April 2023 by the U.S. Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS).

HCAHPS is a standardized and validated survey instrument for evaluating patient experience. Patient experience is an indicator of healthcare quality and is defined as the "... range of interactions at patients have with the healthcare system, including their care from health plans, and from doctors, nurses, and staff in hospitals..." https://web.archive.org/web/20230206233908/https://www.ahrq.gov/cahps/about-cahps/patient-experience/index.html.

The HCAHPS composite measures consist of multiple questions and, here, are top box scores (see https://www.hcahpsonline.org/en/summary-analyses/). In addition to patient experience, there are additional measures such as whether the hospital is recommended or not, the number or participating hospitals, and the survey response rate

  • Note this is not a representative sample

  • Measures are averaged at the state/territory level

  • Respondents were discharged from a hospital between July 2021 to July 2022

  • Results are patient-mix adjusted, see doi:10.1111/j.1475-6773.2008.00914.x

Repeated measurements of dyads performance and subjective situation awareness

Description

A dataset containing three repeated measures of dyads (paired participants) working together to capture High Value Targets (lower task time is better performance) and their averaged Mission Awareness Rating Scale (MARS) score for each block, repeated three times. MARS evaluates subjective situation awareness (”knowing what is going on”), higher values indicate better situation awareness.

Repeated measures and multivariate measures of perceived distance

Description

A dataset of repeated measures of distance perception at physical distances of 7, 8, 9, 10, and 11 meters. The data are also multivariate, with five dependent measures of distance perception. This is a 5 (physical distance) x 5 (dependent measure) within-participants design with a sample size of 46. Note data is missing for 15 trials due to participant and experimenter errors.

Usage

twedt_dist_measures

Format

A data frame with 230 rows and 7 columns

⁠[,1]⁠ Subject Unique identifier for each participant
⁠[,2]⁠ ⁠Physical Distance⁠ Physical distance from the participant to the target cone, in meters
⁠[,3]⁠ ⁠Blindwalk Away⁠ Participants put on the blindfold after viewing the target. Next, participants took one step to the left and turned 180 degrees to face the opposite direction. Participants were instructed to walk forward until they had walked the original distance to the target
⁠[,4]⁠ ⁠Blindwalk Toward⁠ Participants put on the blindfold after viewing the target. Next, participants walked forward until they thought they had reached the target cone
⁠[,5]⁠ ⁠Triangulated BW⁠ Participants put on the blindfold after viewing the target. Next, participants turned right 90 degrees and walked forward 5 meters. The experimenter told participants when to stop walking. Finally, participants turned to face toward the target and walked forward two steps
⁠[,6]⁠ Verbal Participants stated the distance between the target cone and themselves, in feet and inches
⁠[,7]⁠ ⁠Visual Matching⁠ An experimenter stood next to the target cone and walked away from the cone in a straight line that was perpendicular to the extent between the target and the participant. Participants instructed the experimenter to stop walking when they thought that the distance between the target and the experimenter was equal to the target distance
