A simulation study of the effect of therapeutic horseback riding : a logistic regression approachPauw, Jeanette 11 1900 (has links)
Therapeutic horseback riding (THR) uses the horse as a therapeutic apparatus in physical
and psychological therapy. This dissertation suggests a more appropriate technique for
measuring the effect of THR. A research survey of the statistical methods used to
determine the effect of THR was undertaken. Although researchers observed clinically
meaningful change in several of the studies, this was not supported by statistical tests. A
logistic regression approach is proposed as a solution to many of the problems
experienced by researchers on THR. Since large THR related data sets are not available,
data were simulated. Logistic regression and t-tests were used to analyse the same
simulated data sets, and the results were compared. The advantages of the logistic
regression approach are discussed. This statistical technique can be applied in any field
where the therapeutic value of an intervention has to be proven scientifically. / Mathematical Sciences / M. Sc. (Statistics)
