Abstract

Proposes discrimination indexes for studying sensory functioning in aging, based on measures of association and lack-of-it, that summarize monotonic regressions of the subject's data as well as non-metric and metric-sensitive measures related to Kendall's coefficient of concordance. Quadratic spline regression models for cross-sectional age trends.

Subjects
