English | ISBN: 981163548X | 2021 | 112 pages | PDF | 2 MB
This book provides a key to understanding why there was an increase in extra-marital fertility in Japan from the 1990s to the 2010s, particularly between 1995 and 2015, and the factors which contribute to the multistratification of unmarried mothers, the number of which has increased ensuingly. It also allows for international comparison by providing data on outcomes of extra-marital childbirth.

Modeling Correlated Outcomes Using Extensions of Generalized Estimating Equations and Linear Mixed Modeling


Free Download Modeling Correlated Outcomes Using Extensions of Generalized Estimating Equations and Linear Mixed Modeling
English | 2024 | ISBN: 3031419871 | 525 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 23 MB
This book formulates methods for modeling continuous and categorical correlated outcomes that extend the commonly used methods: generalized estimating equations (GEE) and linear mixed modeling. Partially modified GEE adds estimating equations for variance/dispersion parameters to the standard GEE estimating equations for the mean parameters. Fully modified GEE provides alternate estimating equations for mean parameters as well as estimating equations for variance/dispersion parameters. The new estimating equations in these two cases are generated by maximizing a "likelihood" function related to the multivariate normal density function. Partially modified GEE and fully modified GEE use the standard GEE approach to estimate correlation parameters based on the residuals. Extended linear mixed modeling (ELMM) uses the likelihood function to estimate not only mean and variance/dispersion parameters, but also correlation parameters. Formulations are provided for gradient vectors and Hessian matrices, for a multi-step algorithm for solving estimating equations, and model-based and robust empirical tests for assessing theory-based models.

In the 1980s, although most social workers organised their time and described their work in terms of cases, research studies had cast serious doubts on the efficacy of working in this way. As a result, there had been growing anxiety about what social workers do, what they ought to do, and the training they needed.
