I've read a few of Wessely's papers and they always struck me as having logical inconsistencies of big jumps in reasoning. I did think if someone...
My point was for trials like PACE which basically had poor results and a meaningless methodology gives a more obvious reason to dismiss results...

There could be some interesting stuff on mental function and cognitive ability in terms of measuring change but I think producing the right tests...
Sounds right to me. I do come at it from more of an engineering or maths background hence perhaps I worry about the properties. Not that I know...
Originally they talked about quoting the two scores separately and as a combined score.
The stats (quoting mean and sd) assume that the scale is linear otherwise if it is ordered (ordinal scale) then the median and MAD can be used. If...
