Sentences with phrase «multilevel model exploring»

Not exact matches

Individual growth curve models were developed for multilevel analysis and specifically designed for exploring longitudinal data on individual changes over time.23 Using this approach, we applied the MIXED procedure in SAS (SAS Institute) to account for the random effects of repeated measurements.24 To specify the correct model for our individual growth curves, we compared a series of MIXED models by evaluating the difference in deviance between nested models.23 Both fixed quadratic and cubic MIXED models fit our data well, but we selected the fixed quadratic MIXED model because the addition of a cubic time term was not statistically significant based on a log - likelihood ratio test.

We explored this issue further by estimating additional multilevel models examining the difference between G1 and G2 reports (G1 − G2) as predictors of target (G2) reports and offspring (G3) reports.

Multilevel autoregressive model with restricted maximum likelihood estimator was utilized in order to explore cross-lagged associations between schema modes and personality psychopathology scores over subsequent measurements at baseline, 6, 12, 18, 24 and 36 months.
