چکیده

Riassunto: In un contesto di regressione, la dicotomizzazione di una variabile risposta continua è solitamente dettata dall’esigenza di ottenere una misura del rapporto di quote (odds ratio) che ne quantifichi l’associazione con uno o più fattori di rischio. Prendendo spunto da un lavoro recentemente pubblicato, in questo articolo si esplora la possibilità di ottenere stime del rapporto di quote da un modello di regressione lineare senza ricorrere alla discretizzazione della variabile risposta, in presenza di dati raggruppati quando un approccio basato su un modello ad effetti casuali viene utilizzato.

The coefficient of determination R2 and intra-class correlation coefficient from generalized linear mixed-effects models revisited and expanded

The coefficient of determination R2 quantifies the proportion of variance explained by a statistical model and is an important summary statistic of biological interest. However, estimating R2 for generalized linear mixed models (GLMMs) remains challenging. We have previously introduced a version of R2 that we called [Formula: see text] for Poisson and binomial GLMMs, but not for other distribut...

The Risk Factors for Failure of an Upper Extremity Replantation: Is the Use of Cigarettes/Tobacco a Significant Factor?

BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to explore the potential risk factors associated with the failure of an upper extremity replantation with a focus on cigarette or tobacco use. PATIENTS AND METHODS A cohort of 102 patients with 149 replants (6 extremities, 143 digits) and a mean age of 41 years (range 5 to 72 years) was enrolled in this study. The data collected included age, gender, t...

Conditional Dependence in Longitudinal Data Analysis

Mixed models are widely used to analyze longitudinal data. In their conventional formulation as linear mixed models (LMMs) and generalized LMMs (GLMMs), a commonly indispensable assumption in settings involving longitudinal non-Gaussian data is that the longitudinal observations from subjects are conditionally independent, given subject-specific random effects. Although conventional Gaussian...

A practical guide and power analysis for GLMMs: detecting among treatment variation in random effects

In ecology and evolution generalized linear mixed models (GLMMs) are becoming increasingly used to test for differences in variation by treatment at multiple hierarchical levels. Yet, the specific sampling schemes that optimize the power of an experiment to detect differences in random effects by treatment/group remain unknown. In this paper we develop a blueprint for conducting power analyses ...

Methods for estimating prevalence ratios in cross-sectional studies.

OBJECTIVE To empirically compare the Cox, log-binomial, Poisson and logistic regressions to obtain estimates of prevalence ratios (PR) in cross-sectional studies. METHODS Data from a population-based cross-sectional epidemiological study (n = 2072) on elderly people in Sao Paulo (Southeastern Brazil), conducted between May 2003 and April 2005, were used. Diagnoses of dementia, possible cases ...
