چکیده

Our paper and presentation will describe how we used ArcGIS to manage multiple sources data and to derive quantitative measures of neighborhood level characteristics for six study sites around the US. Some of the neighborhood characteristics include proximity to recreational facilities, street connectivity, population density, crime, mass transit, neighborhood SES, neighborhood terrain, and land use mix. The study will analyze community impacts on individual physical activity using multilevel modeling techniques combined with spatial auto-regressive methods.

Transition Models for Analyzing Longitudinal Data with Bivariate Mixed Ordinal and Nominal Responses

In many longitudinal studies, nominal and ordinal mixed bivariate responses are measured. In these studies, the aim is to investigate the effects of explanatory variables on these time-related responses. A regression analysis for these types of data must allow for the correlation among responses during the time. To analyze such ordinal-nominal responses, using a proposed weighting approach, an ...
