Abstract:The interrupted time series (ITS) design is widely used to examine the effects of large-scale public health interventions and has the highest level of evidence validity. However, there is a notable gap regarding methods that account for lag effects of interventions.To address this, we introduced activation functions (ReLU and Sigmoid) to into the classic segmented regression (CSR) of the ITS design during the lag period. This led to the proposal of proposed an optimized segmented regression (OSR), namely, OSR-… Show more
