Benefits and challenges of using logistic regression to assess neuropsychological performance validity: Evidence from a simulation study.

ABSTRACT: Logistic regression (LR) is recognized as a promising method for making decisions about neuropsychological performance validity by integrating information across multiple measures. However, this method has yet to be widely adopted in clinical practice, likely because several open questions remain about its utility relative to simpler methods, its effectiveness across different clinical contexts, and its feasibility at sample sizes common in the field. The current study addresses these questions by assessing classification performance of logistic regression and alternative methods across an array of simulated data sets.We simulated scores of valid and invalid performers on 6 tests designed to mimic the psychometric and distributional properties of real performance validity measures.
