Journal Article
HAMILTON, D.F., SHIM, J., HOWIE, C.R. and MACFARLANE, G.J. 2021. Patients follow three distinct outcome trajectories following total knee arthroplasty. Bone and joint journal [online], 103-B(6), pages 1096-1102. Available from: https://doi.org/10.1302/0301-620X.103b6.BJJ-2020-1821.R1

Aims: Although total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a highly successful procedure, about 20% of patients remain dissatisfied postoperatively. This proportion is derived from dichotomous models of the assessment of surgical success or failure, which may n...

The suitability of a quasi-Newton algorithm for estimating fitness-fatigue models: sensitivity, troublesome local optima and implications for future research (an in silico experimental design). (2021)
Working Paper
STEPHENS HEMINGWAY, B., SWINTON, P. and OGOREK, B. 2021. The suitability of a quasi-Newton algorithm for estimating fitness-fatigue models: sensitivity, troublesome local optima and implications for future research (an in silico experimental design). SportRxiv [online]. Available from: https://doi.org/10.31236/osf.io/dx7gm

Fitting an FFM via NLS in practice assumes that a unique optimal solution exists and can be found by the algorithm applied. However, this idealistic scenario may not hold for two reasons: 1) the absolute minimum may not be unique; and 2) local minima...
