Abstract
Methods and systems providing adaptive assessment of a physical subject to efficiently collect assessment data and modify an assessment schedule based on the analyses. The methods and systems can control the timing of each assessment in order to collect data at times and under conditions that are most informative about the physical subject. Such adaptive methods and systems significantly minimize the frequency of data collection without loss in accuracy or precision and can increase test reliability through reduction in redundancy. The ability to estimate an unknown, underlying function using a small number of free parameters that remain constant regardless of the number of data points being estimated substantially reduces the error of the function estimate. Because estimates of the measurement error are achieved with a minimum of sampled assessments, and with great accuracy, the statistical power of clinical trials, for example, can be greatly increased.
