Matt Smith
• Subject area
– Falls prediction in the elderly using a multilevel logistical regression
model: When to intervene
• Progress
– ROC of 0.78 out performs other prediction models in area
– All results except model generated (currently processing)
– First paper written except for discussion section – awaiting final
model has completed running on distributed computer
What should change?
• Make sure clear understanding of attachment
• Completion of training (especially statistics) in
advance of attachment
• Greater academic involvement of RSCH
supervisor?
• Resources to support greater University input
• Other suggestions?
