SAS® PROC GLIMMIX fits generalized linear mixed models for nonnormal data with random effects, thus combining features of both PROC GENMOD and PROC MIXED. I will review the ideas behind PROC GLIMMIX and offer examples of Poisson and binary data. PROC NLMIXED also has the capacity to fit these kinds of models. After a brief introduction to that procedure, I will show an example of a zero-inflate...

We report the results of first-principles electronic-structure calculations for su-perconducting Ba 6 C 60. Unlike the A 3 C 60 superconductors, this new compound shows strong Ba–C hybridization in the valence and conduction regions, mixed co-valent/ionic bonding character, partial charge transfer, and insulating zero-gap band structure.

We show that bounded monopoly profits are essential for the uniqueness of the Bertrand paradox (zero profit) outcome. Otherwise, a folk theorem obtains for one-shot homogeneous product Bertrand games: any positive (but finite) payoff vector can be achieved in a symmetric mixed-strategy Nash equilibrium. JEL Numbers: D43, C72

Willow Brook receives runoff from Cooperstown, NY and flows into Otsego Lake, a phosphorus limited, mesotrophic waterbody. Between 1992 and 1998, the Village of Cooperstown’s winter road management policy included plowing and applying abrasives (particulate material intended to increase traction) mixed with enough salt to minimize clumping. Between 1998 and 2002, Ice Ban Magic and Magic Minus Z...

the overall objectives of this study have been, 1). to review the existing literature in order to evaluate observations of significant quantifiable health erects on population exposed through occupation or nearby residence, or as consumers, to the irrigation of crops with raw wastewater of firouz abad canal in irrigation crops for more than 30 years. 2) to determine the effects of heavy metals ...

Generalization of the release process through the wax matrix layer was examined by use of a reservoir device tablet. The wax matrix layer of the reservoir device tablet was prepared from a physical mixture of lactose and hydrogenated castor oil to simplify the release properties. Release through the wax matrix layer showed zero-order kinetics in a steady state after a given lag time, and could ...

Longitudinal or repeated measures data with clumping at zero occur in many applications in biometrics, including health policy research, epidemiology, nutrition, and meteorology. These data exhibit correlation because they are measured on the same subject over time or because subjects may be considered repeated measures within a larger unit such as a family. They present special challenges beca...

Zero-Slack Rate-Monotonic (ZSRM) is a family of mixed-criticality schedulers which are based on fixed-priority preemptive scheduling. One scheduler (which we call ZSRMS) [5] works as follows: a job J is suspended at time t if at time t there is a higher-criticality job J ′ that has not finished and t minus the arrival time of J ′ exceeds a pertask configurable parameter (which we call zero-slac...

Atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases remain the number one killer in the world, accounting for nearly one-third of all deaths worldwide. There is a clinical dilemma, in that almost half of acute coronary events occur in previously asymptomatic patients, and nearly 70% of acute coronary events result from coronary lesions that are not hemodynamically significant or flow-limiting before the ev...
