We explore the performance of three popular model-selection criteria for generalised linear mixed-effects models (GLMMs) longitudinal count data (LCD). focus on evaluating conditional (given random effects) versus marginal (averaging over in selecting appropriate data-generating model. advocate use criteria, since Bayesian statisticians often despite previous warnings. discuss how to compute LC...

Using data from two American and one Finnish long-term longitudinal studies, we examined continuity of general aggression from age 8 to physical aggression in early adulthood (age 21-30) and whether continuity of aggression differed by country, sex, and parent occupational status. In all samples, childhood aggression was assessed via peer nominations and early adulthood aggression via self-repo...

BACKGROUND Social capital research has consistently shown positive associations between generalised trust and health outcomes over 2 decades. Longitudinal studies attempting to test causal relationships further support the theory that trust is an independent predictor of health. However, as the reverse causality hypothesis has yet to be empirically tested, a knowledge gap remains. The aim of th...

a nonlinear model consisting “yaw, roll, longitudinal, lateral and pitch” has been developed in which, tire and suspension characteristics have been considered. tire model is based on the elliptic concept and tire calspan data. according to this tire model, cornering force and aligning moment are computed as a function of slip and camber (inclination) angles, normal load, tire adhesion characte...
