detection of undocumented changepoints a revision of the two phase regression model
Journal of Climate, 2002Co-Authors: Robert Lund, Jaxk ReevesAbstract:Abstract Changepoints (inhomogeneities) are present in many climatic time series. Changepoints are physically plausible whenever a station location is moved, a Recording Instrument is changed, a new method of data collection is employed, an observer changes, etc. If the time of the changepoint is known, it is usually a straightforward task to adjust the series for the inhomogeneity. However, an undocumented changepoint time greatly complicates the analysis. This paper examines detection and adjustment of climatic series for undocumented changepoint times, primarily from single site data. The two-phase regression model techniques currently used are demonstrated to be biased toward the conclusion of an excessive number of unobserved changepoint times. A simple and easily applicable revision of this statistical method is introduced.

the st andrew s sexual behaviour assessment sasba development of a standardised Recording Instrument for the measurement and assessment of challenging sexual behaviour in people with progressive and acquired neurological impairment
Neuropsychological Rehabilitation, 2008Co-Authors: Caroline Knight, Nick Alderman, Chrissie Johnson, Louise Birkettswan, Sharon Green, Graeme YorstanAbstract:Inappropriate sexual behaviour (ISB) as a sequela of neurological impairment is often overlooked in comparison to other challenging behaviours such as agitation and aggression, yet the impact on patients and carers can be equally significant and pervasive. Inconsistencies in terminology and lack of standardised measurement tools for ISB limit the degree to which such behaviour can be objectively and consistently identified, reported and managed within and between services. This paper proposes a new ISB scale, the St Andrew's Sexual Behaviour Assessment (SASBA) based on the Overt Aggression Scale – Modified for Neurorehabilitation (OAS-MNR: Alderman, Knight, & Morgan, 1997). The validity and reliability of the SASBA for use with people who have both progressive neurological conditions and acquired brain injury admitted to in-patient services is explored. This scale allows continuous observations of four categories of ISB, each of which has four levels of severity, that were developed with reference to rele...
