Identifying Predictors of Resilience to Stressors in Single-Arm Studies of Pre-Post Change

Description

Studies of resilience in older adults are typically conducted with a single-arm where everyone experiences the stressor. The simplistic approach of regressing change versus baseline yields biased estimates due to mathematical coupling and regression-to-the-mean. This function provides a method to correct the bias.
