What's the difference between mismeasure and mismeasurement?
Mismeasure
Definition:
(v. t.) To measure or estimate incorrectly.
Example Sentences:
(1) To demonstrate the way in which error masks effects, we studied the impact of extreme mismeasurement in analysis of strong or moderate underlying associations using computer-simulated, case-control studies (300 cases, 300 controls).
(2) Latent class analysis provides a useful framework for the analysis of epidemiological data which may have been mismeasured.
(3) A booklet just published by the National Union of Teachers, The Mismeasurement of Learning , gives 16 short essays of evidence on how tests are damaging children and primary education (see reclaimingschools.org ).
(4) Profound mismeasurement, which, in these studies, probably typifies measures of dietary exposures in general and of fat in particular may, in part, explain this lack of agreement.
(5) Important risk relationships can be concealed, despite careful design and analysis if there is substantial mismeasurement of exposure.
(6) We consider three commonly-used statistical tests for assessing the association between an explanatory variable and a measured, binary, or survival-time, response variable, and investigate the loss in efficiency from mismodelling or mismeasuring the explanatory variable.
(7) Analysis by Number Cruncher Politics published last week concludes that the relative proportions of “Labour” and “Conservative” Ukip defectors had been mismeasured – more Ukip voters had come from Labour than the pollsters thought, and fewer from the Tories.
(8) The first is to use external information about the extent of mismeasurement to adjust estimates of the effects of exposure.
(9) Corrected for mismeasurement, the corresponding odds ratios were 2.90 (95% CI 1.42-5.93), 2.57 (95% CI 1.24-5.32), and 0.36 (95% CI 0.17-0.71), respectively.
(10) The major disadvantage of the adjustment strategy is its sensitivity to incorrect specification of mismeasurement structure.
(11) With maximum likelihood theory, the repeat data were used to produce odds ratio estimates of relative risk corrected for mismeasurement.
(12) When mismeasurement of the exposure variable is anticipated, epidemiologic cohort studies may be augmented to include a validation study, where a small sample of data relating the imperfect exposure measurement method to the better method is collected.
