Using Innovative Outliers to Detect Discrete Shifts in Dynamics in Group-Based State-Space Models

MULTIVARIATE BEHAVIORAL RESEARCH, 44(4), 465–496.

By: S. Chow, E. Hamaker* & J. Allaire n

TL;DR: This work extends De Jong and Penzer's 1998 approach for representing outliers in single-subject state-space models to a group-based framework and indicates that a subset of older adults showed sudden shifts in learning dynamics in several forms, including sudden jumps in level, slope, and linkage between perceived control and actual performance level.
