Category | Method and description | Number of parameters |
---|---|---|
(General = case study) | ||
Original | 0—no adjustments | 0 = 0 |
Recalibration | 1—intercept recalibration: adjust intercepts | (k − 1) = 2 |
2—logistic recalibration: adjust intercepts and slopes | k × (k − 1) = 6 | |
 | 3—refitting: re-estimation of individual coefficients | (q + 1) × (k − 1) = 8 |
Revision | 4—penalized refitting using recalibrated coefficients from method 2 as offset | (k + q + 1) × (k − 1) = 14 |
 | 5—refitting including functional form: method 3, but hCGr modeled with rcs | (q′ + 1) × (k − 1) = 8 |
Extension | 6—extension: similar to method 3 but log(progesterone) added | (q + m + 1) × (k − 1) = 10 |
7—penalized extension: similar to method 5 but log(progesterone) added | (k + q + m + 1) × (k − 1) = 16 |
