Pediatric Pain, Predictive Inference, and Sensitivity Analysis.

Weiss, Robert

Evaluation Review, v18 n6 p651-77 Dec 1994

Coping style and effects of counseling intervention on pain tolerance was studied for 61 elementary school students through immersion of hands in cold water. Bayesian predictive inference tools are able to distinguish between subject characteristics and manipulable treatments. Sensitivity analysis strengthens the certainty of conclusions about distractors and attenders. (SLD)
