Environmental Determinants of Stigonematales In A Southeastern Reservoir.
… environmental factors were analyzed using generalized linear modeling (GLM) with a cumulative logit link function. The significance of main variable effects associated with the abundance of Stigonematales was tested using both forward and backward stepwise variable entry. The statistical …

The Severity of Obesity and Knee Osteoarthritis: Effects on Strength and Gait
… between the outcome and explanatory variables. Generalized linear modeling was used to look for associations between the outcome and explanatory measures controlling for gender, race, and weight. RESULTS: Significant associations were found such that tall, heavy males were associated with …

Posttraumatic Growth in Survivors of Breast Cancer: The Role of Dispositional Optimism, Coping Strategies, and Psychosocial Interventions
… of posttraumatic growth were examined via generalized linear modeling. Finally, the narrative responses were investigated by means of content analysis. The results provided evidence that demographic characteristics (i.e., affiliation with religion and lower levels of education) and one …

Bargaining Power, Gender Norms, and Intimate Partner Violence: An Examination of Latin American Countries
… Paper 1: This paper uses structural equation modeling to examine whether women’s employment and the risk of IPV is mediated through bargaining power and whether that mediation varies across countries. The findings indicate that women’s employment consistently enhances their intrahousehold …

Understanding the High School Dropout Process Through Student Engagement and School Processes: Evidence from the Educational Longitudinal Study of 2002
… on dropping out of high school. Hierarchical generalized linear modeling (HGLM) indicated that emotional engagement was a statistically significant predictor of dropping out of school, whereas, behavioral and cognitive engagement were not significant predictors. An analysis of the dimensions …
