Abstracts are not currently available in GtR for all funded research. This is normally because the abstract was not required at the time of proposal submission, but may be because it included sensitive information such as personal details.
 
Title Sonic Uncertainties, the multidimensional case 
Description Sonification Installation created/composed by Mark Fell www.markfell.com exhibited at University of York in collaboration with Tim Croudace, Professor of Psychometric Epidemiology for http://www.york.ac.uk/c2d2/seminars/sonihed/ on 12 September 2014, at the Holbeck Cinema, Department of Theatre, Film and Television The installation and collaboration was commissioned for this event: "Conference on Sonification of Health and Environmental Data" which was funded by The Wellcome Trust http://www.york.ac.uk/c2d2/seminars/sonihed and http://www.york.ac.uk/c2d2/seminars/sonihed/#tab-3 (Mark Fell) and Centre for Chronic Diseases and Disorders (C2D2) at the University of York.

Impact "SONIC UNCERTAINTIES THE MULTIDIMENSIONAL CASE Mark Fell with Tim Croudace, Alastair Scott and Jan Stochl Based on simulated but realistic data created to capture five distinct but related dimensions of variation (psychometric latent factors), surveyed using adaptive testing principles (also known as Computer Adaptive or Tailored Testing). The installation represents how estimates are converged upon by a process of item selection contingent on prior responses, allowing sonification of an exemplar set of five factor scores. The multidimensional cases are the person estimates converging on final score values, and the uncertainties are the conditional standard errors of measurement, typically under the control of the researcher, set so as to reduce incrementally until sufficiently small. This installation was inspired by conversations between Sandra Pauletto, Tim Croudace and Mark Fell about multidimensional personality and psychopathology data. The installation was commissioned from Mark Fell and premiered at SoniHED conference. Item response theory based data, recreated in simulation scale and scope for this piece were generated and programmed by Dr Jan Stochl and York Centre for Complex Systems Analysis summer student Alastair Scott, working under direction from Professor Tim J Croudace of Hull York Medical School and Dept of Health Sciences. Thanks to the organisers, sponsors and C2D2 supported researchers in Health Sciences and HYMS.

Description The RDI materials developed have been archived perpetually on the NRCM website, now that the ESRC RESTORE project has ceased (and has been taken on an archive by the NCRM structures). This may represent both academic and non-academic impact as intended by the scheme that we applied to.
