PROSPECTIVE COHORT STUDY Child predictors significantly related to severe and moderate obesity at 5 years in the univariate analysis were shown in a table (Andersen, Bor, Najman, O 'Callaghan, & Williams, Prediction of Obesity in Children at 5 Years: A Cohort Study, 1997). They were measured using relative risk and the 95% confidence interval. Factors predictive of severe obesity were birth weight exceeding the 94th percentile: RR 1.8, 95% CI 1.1-2.9, birth weight between the 85th and 94th…

Theoretical Framework The Proportional Odds Model A binary logistic regression model estimates the odds and the probability of experiencing an event for the dichotomous outcome variable on a set of predictors. The logistic regression model is defined as: ln(Y′) = logit [π(x)] = ln = α + β1X1 + β2X2 + …+ βpXp. (1) where logit [π(x)] is the log odds of success, and the odds is a ratio between the probability of having an event and the probability of not having that event.…

Liang is not the only student feels that GPA is a better predictor at College Success. Senior Hasala Rannulu at Great Valley located in Pennsylvania states, “I believe that GPA is a better predictor than the SAT and ACT at predicting how well you will do in college.” According to a study conducted by the National Association for College Admission Counseling, Bates College, Washington…

factors on nurse burnout. The research questions of this study were (1) What is the level of job burnout among clinical nurses in Tianjin, China? and (2) Are demographics, self-efficacy, job stress and professional nursing practice environment (PNPE) predictors…

intima-media thickness ‎measurement obtained by B-mode ultrasound is currently recommended ‎by the American Heart Association as being relatively safe, noninvasive ‎and inexpensive method of assessing subclinical atherosclerosis and ‎being an independent predictor of atherosclerotic events(7).The IMT is ‎significantly higher in diabetic patients than that in nondiabetic ‎patients(8), and the increased IMT can predict future events of silent brain ‎infarction and coronary heart disease in the…

As presented in the table above, Hygiene Factors with the mean value of 3.82 and SD of 0.498 that considered as agree. As classified as independent variables, hygiene factors distributed ten items namely company policy, interpersonal relation-peers, work security, personal life, salary, interpersonal relation-subordinate, supervision technical, interpersonal relation-supervisor, working conditions, and status. These ten items found to have the mean values that considered as agree on the level…

theoretical model revealed that situational perception and self-control to get HPV vaccine were strong significant predictors of behavioral…

is explained by the independent variables in a regression model. It is important to know the amount of shared variance when interpreting both the significance and the meaningfulness of a correlation coefficient in order to determine whether the predictors are useful in the model. In order to predict how well a student might do in college, a researcher might examine various variables, including SAT scores, age, gender, race, and socioeconomic status. In this regard, she might use regression…

Background Star Alliance has approximately 250,000 questionnaires that have been collected from Alliance carriers. To put the value of this data in perspective, many life-saving drugs on sale today with a value in the billions of dollars, have been analyzed with less than 1/10th or less of data that Star Alliance has available. Although many predictive analysis and modeling techniques have been available for decades, the time and resources to internally plot all of the potential relationships…

whether or not the Nernst Equation solely based on [K+] can also predict the cell’s resting membrane potential. We predicted that [K+] concentration had a significant influence on the membrane potential and thus the Nernst Equation was an accurate predictor of the observed Vm changes. Our results indicate that our hypothesis was incorrect- the results indicate that the Nernst equation calculations did not correspond with the observed resting membrane potentials. This outcome…
