STATA command for scatterplot with linear fit line for subgroups?

I have three variables: sbp, age and sex. I want to make a scatterplot for the relationship between sbp and age (both continuous variables) for sex groups (male and female). What would be the...

How do I compare change in a function measured using two different scales?

I am measuring lung function using FEV1 (%) and CT score (range 0-30) in 20 patients at time 0 and at one year of follow up. How should I test which of the two measures (FEV1% or CT Score) shows...

How can I assess diagnostic accuracy for an ordinal outcome?

I am evaluating an outcome which is an ordinal variable with 5 levels. I am measuring this outcome with a 'gold standard technique' and two other non-invasive techniques in 30 patients. I want to...

How do I statistically compare the sensitivity and specificity or LR+ and LR- of three diagnostic tests performed on the same patients?

In my experiment I am subjecting 50 patients to a definitive diagnostic test and three more different tests. How do I statustically test the hypothesis that the sensitivity and specifity or the...

What is the difference between mathematical R^4 space and physical 4D unit space?

We assume that the difference is huge and that it is not possible to compare the two spaces. The R^4 mathematical space considers time as an external controller and the space itself is immobile in...

Is it possible to use the Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) to additively manufacture interconnected porous structure generation of >100-200 micrometer?

Usually, additive manufacturing techniques like SEBM, SLS, and SLM are used for interconnected porous lattice structure generation with sizes of >100–200 micrometers. Can the Fused Deposition...

How to define an anisotropic material with asymmetric elastic compliance/stiffness matrix in ANSYS APDL?

I need to model an anisotropic material in which the Poisson's ratio ν_12 ≠ ν_21 and so on. Therefore, the elastic compliance matrix wouldn't be a symmetric one. In ANSYS APDL, for TB,ANEL...

Is it necessary to covary exogenous constructs in a structural model?

I am working on a SEM model where i have 7 latent variables (6 exogenous and 1 endogenous). In AMOS when I co-vary the exogenous constructs, only 2 paths are coming significant out of 6. But when...
