variables from mothers over a voice call, and our initial research has shown that 20 % of the data is more
than 75 % accurate, can be identified automatically, and is sufficient to build a detailed
analysis of the quality of care provided by different health facilities.
Several studies have also attempted to understand the role of breastfeeding on IQ, and although some authors conclude that the observed advantage of breastfeeding on IQ is related only to genetic and socioenvironmental factors, a recent meta -
analysis showed that after adjustment for appropriate key co-factors, breastfeeding was associated with significantly higher scores for cognitive development
than formula feeding.6 Longer duration of breastfeeding has also been positively associated with intelligence in adulthood.22 We also observed the benefits of long - term breastfeeding on mental indices, along with the indirect benefit of balancing the impact of exposure to p, p ′ DDE after adjustment for some socioeconomic
variables.

variable in less
than 33 % (432 of 1303) of surgical clinical research studies.
The performance differences, however, while statistically significant, are much smaller
than those found in the NAEP
analysis, which supports the view that control
variables used in the NAEP models are biased against private schools.
However, the reduction of the number of cases (to fewer
than 10 per
variable for the regression
analysis) limits the reliability of this result.
The relative non-competitiveness of the field arises, I think, out of the fact that our

variables being non-iid on the extreme value
analysis, and after taking that into account, propose that changes in extreme precipitation are likely to be larger
than the corresponding changes in annual mean precipitation under a global warming.
They are simply a first estimate.Where multiple
analyses of the biases in other climatological
variables have been produced, for example tropospheric temperatures and ocean heat content, the resulting spread in the estimates of key parameters such as the long - term trend has typically been signicantly larger
than initial estimates of the uncertainty suggested.
That is, (1) there is dO18 measurement, which I claim should be fairly precise, but you stated has large uncertainties, and then there is (2) derivation of temperature from dO18 values, where you have indeed pointed out that there could be a number of possibly confounding factors in that
analysis if other
variables than temperature are not controlled.
The statistical
analyses (Table FE3) indicated that: (1) there are statistically significant differences in carbon dioxide emission factors across both coal rank and State of origin; (2) coal rank and State of origin each explain approximately 80 percent of the variation in carbon dioxide emission factors; and (3) State of origin combined with coal rank is a slightly more powerful explanatory
variable than either coal rank or State of origin alone.

variables, giving it a finer grain
than many previous
analyses of carbon tax incidence.
The p values using the nine climate
variables (denoted as «Overall» in Table 4) of MMEs are larger
than the threshold (0.05, significant level = 5 %), which means that, according to this

variables, only the recipient of the questionnaire was statistically significant (B = 3.13, p = 0.03); partner recipient was significantly associated with higher psychological distress
than patient recipient.
Covariates were those identified in previous
analyses of this sample to independently contribute to child BMI status.16 Parent - reported child
variables were gender (male or female), number of siblings in the household (0, 1, 2, or ≥ 3), and language other
than English spoken at home by the child (yes or no).
Because the univariate effect of the representativeness of the sample was lost in multivariate
analysis, we conclude that this effect was based on a confounding
variable (the use of control groups rather
than test norms in community - based studies with representative samples).
As a result, and together with incomplete data in some
variables across subjects, the sample sizes for
variables in the bivariate and multivariable
analyses were less
than those for the completed number of cross-sectional and registration - linked ACE score profiles.

analyses using one of the VIEW factors and stress condition as independent
variables, participants rated the high stress vignette as significantly more stressful
than the low stress vignette.
A sample - to -
variable ratio of 10:1 (Osborne & Costello, 2005; Singh et al., 2016) or alternately more
than 300 cases are generally considered adequate for factor
analysis (Tabachnick & Fidell 1996; Comrey & Lee, 1992).
Although there was a lower response among families of minority groups (70 %)
than among white families (84 %), (p <.01), t - tests and chi - square
analyses indicated that minority - group respondents did not differ from minority - group nonrespondents on any birth status or sociodemographic
variable (p >.05).
In terms of validity, we make a factor
analysis of the
variables and delete the measurement which the factor loading is less
than 0.4 to make the average variance extracted (AVE) reach more
than 0.5, and it shows that the convergent validity of each
variable meets the requirements.
Regarding sample power, all three samples were far beyond the suggested 10 cases for each observed
variable threshold (Osborne & Costello, 2005; Singh et al., 2016) and larger
than 300 or 500 cases (Tabachnick & Fidell 1996; Comrey & Lee, 1992), suggested as sufficient sample size for factor
analysis.
Possibly, mania is a more purely biologically driven phenomenon
than bipolar depression, with onsets more readily attributable to medication inconsistency, sleep deprivation, circadian disruption, or behavioral activation.21,22,84 - 86 In contrast, social and familial support has been found to protect against depression in bipolar and unipolar affective disorders, but the role of these
variables in manic recurrences is unclear.86 - 88 An
analysis of laboratory interactional data from a subset of 44 families in this sample revealed that treatment - related improvements in family communication skills were more closely associated with reductions in patients» depressive
than manic symptoms.56 Thus, manic and depressive symptoms may be influenced by different constellations of risk and protective factors.

analyses use controls, but where she does, Kuperberg includes
variables such as age at co-residence (or age at marriage, depending), education, race / ethnicity, family stability growing up, if one grew up religious or not, if one had previously cohabited with someone other
than the mate (serial cohabitation), if the couple had moved in together while expecting a baby, and if there had been any birth prior to cohabiting (within the relationship or from a prior one).

than 5 % missing on any
variable in the
analysis (cf. Allison, 2010).

analysis instead of ordinary least squares regression
analysis because accuracy of surrogate estimation was a count
variable displaying overdispersion (i.e., its variance is larger
than its mean).
Apart from the aim to be consistent with the approach used in earlier articles in this special issue [3, 4], item response modeling differs from SEM in that (i) it models the actual response data rather
than the covariance matrix among the
variables, and hence, (ii) it allows a finer grain of interpretation and fit
analysis.
Given the much larger number of women
than men in this sample, preliminary
analyses examined whether this
variable should be controlled in subsequent statistical procedures.
Linear regression
analyses revealed that different attitudinal and experiential
variables predict MRT performance in male and female students and that the variance explained by them is higher in females
than in males.
Although PAPCA uses a principal component
analysis (PCA) as a tool to identify components of interest, this approach is different from PCA because its main goal is classifying individuals, rather
than variables, by interpreting arrays of individuals» response patterns as latent profile patterns (most typical patterns of participants» item responses).
Second, regression
analyses revealed that social support functioned as a moderator of the impact of autism severity on sibling adjustment rather
than a mediator or compensatory

than two missing values on a
variable were eliminated from further
analysis (N = 7).
We chose to retain the whole sample for the
analyses and deal with the missing values for the sexual peer norm
variables of the participants who did not complete the online questionnaire, because it has been shown that this yields more accurate results
than listwise deletion, even when data are not missing completely at random (Schafer & Graham, 2002).
Chi square
analyses and t - tests were conducted to examine potential differences in the demographic, predictor, and outcome
variables as a function of accelerometer wear adherence (wearing the accelerometer for less
than 4 versus 4 or more days).
For this modeling, the measures of CU (ICU - total raw score) and ODD (binary diagnosis present / absent) were considered as the independent
variables and the
analyses were adjusted by the covariates family SES, children's sex and ethnicity, presence of comorbidities other
than ODD and the number of DSM - IV CD symptoms.
