Description

The computational methodology used in the present work employed a fully automated predictive-modeling pipeline implemented in R (version 4.5.1). The workflow followed a split-sample strategy for model development and external validation. A primary execution script orchestrates all steps—from CoP data preprocessing to feature extraction, model training, evaluation, and statistical reporting—ensuring complete reproducibility of the analysis.

Files

Steps to reproduce

Download all R scripts into the same folder. Then, download the CoP data from the sources related to Santos & Duarte (2016). Create a directory named "A public data set of human balance evaluations" and move the BDS folder into it. Next, open R or RStudio and run the script "00_run_all.R". Processing all 1,900 center-of-pressure files may take several hours. When complete, all statistical analyses will be saved in a new folder named "outputs".
