Simulation analysis – effect of alternative assumptions for weight progression
| Standard deviation for daily weight change | Assignment of EDP patients (%) | Assignment of NEDP patients (%) | Proportion of people in A1-A4 with NEDP (%) | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| A0 | A1-A4 | A0 | A1-A4 | ||
| 0 (Weights constant over time) | 100.0 | 79.1 | 20.9 | 79.1 | 85.0 |
| 0.05 | 100.0 | 83.8 | 27.8 | 87.2 | 85.5 |
| 0.1 | 100.0 | 83.9 | 33.2 | 92.6 | 86.2 |
| 0.5 | 100.0 | 10.4 | 24.8 | 75.4 | 97.6 |
| 1.0 | 100.0 | 0.2 | 11.0 | 43.0 | 99.9 |
| Limiting scenario (from Table 1) | 100.0 | 0.0 | 5.9 | 23.5 | 100.0 |
Note: Assumes 15% of patients have EDP, 30% of the time. Patients submitted weight readings on 162 days. Based on 10,000 replications of the simulation experiment
