Multi-level models for longitudinal growth norms.
Multi-level models for estimating conditional and unconditional longitudinal growth norms are presented. The procedure involves transforming the original growth measurements to Normality and modelling these with a two-level random coefficient model. Growth norms for any desired time interval and function can be derived. Height and weight data are used for illustration.
متن کاملMulti-level modelling of longitudinal child growth data from the Birth-to-Twenty Cohort: a comparison of growth models
BACKGROUND Different structural and non-structural models have been used to describe human growth patterns. However, few studies have compared the fitness of these models in an African transitioning population. AIM To find model(s) that best describe the growth pattern from birth to early childhood using mixed effect modelling. SUBJECTS AND METHODS The study compared the fitness of four str...
متن کاملMulti-level Models
The brain is a prototype of a hierarchical system, as Fig. 1 shows. More precisely, it is hierarchical dynamical system. To specify a dynamical system, characteristic state variables and evolution equations governing the change of state should be defined. At the molecular level, the dynamic laws can be identified with chemical kinetics, at the channel level with biophysically detailed equations...
متن کاملMulti-Level Test Models for Embedded Systems
Test methodologies for large embedded systems fail to reflect the test process as a whole. Instead, the test process is divided into independent test levels featuring differences like the functional abstraction levels, but also similarities such as many functional test cases. Desirable instruments such as test front-loading feature a considerable test effort and test cost reduction potential, b...
متن کاملMulti-Level Structured Models for Document-Level Sentiment Classification
In this paper, we investigate structured models for document-level sentiment classification. When predicting the sentiment of a subjective document (e.g., as positive or negative), it is well known that not all sentences are equally discriminative or informative. But identifying the useful sentences automatically is itself a difficult learning problem. This paper proposes a joint two-level appr...
