In accordance with Bengtson's model of intergenerational solidarity (e.g. Bengtson & Roberts, 1991), the interrelations between adult daughters' family values, their perception of the relationship quality with their parents, the support they reported to give to and to receive from their parents, and their perception of reciprocity in intergenerational support exchange were investigated for N = ...

This study examines the possibility of using corpus-driven quantitative techniques to describe emotion concepts. It examines the concept of ANXIETY in American English, British English, Japanese and Swedish. In Cognitive Linguistics, the description of emotion concepts, based on lexical semantics, is done with the analytical framework of the Idealised Cognitive Model and the Theory of Conceptua...

This paper deals with the correspondence between macro and micro spatial interaction and choice models, in both a static and a dynamic context. After a review of recent literature, special attention is devoted to the interpretation of aggregate spatial interaction models (both the conventional gravity or entropy models and the more general theory of movement devëloped by Alonso) in the framewor...

Abstract: We propose the sparse multinomial logistic regression (SMLR) model for spectral-spatial classification of hyperspectral images. In the proposed method, the parameters of SMLR are iteratively estimated from logposterior by using Laplace approximation. The proposed update rule provides a faster convergence compared to the state-of the-art methods used for SMLR parameter estimation. The ...

Contributing to research on social processes of cultural de-hierchization, this article explores how critical recognition in elite newspapers is related to the recognition that authors receive from other agents in the literary field in the past half-century. We distinguish four types of institutional recognition: (a) long-term recognition in literary encyclopedias, (b) short-term recognition th...

Logistic regression with binary and multinomial outcomes is commonly used, and researchers have long searched for an interpretable measure of the strength of a particular logistic model. This article describes the large sample properties of some pseudo-R statistics for assessing the predictive strength of the logistic regression model. We present theoretical results regarding the convergence an...

In the health sciences it is quite common to carry out studies designed to determine the influence of one or more variables upon a given response variable. When this response variable is numerical, simple or multiple regression techniques are used, depending on the case. If the response variable is a qualitative variable (dichotomic or polychotomic), as for example the presence or absence of a ...

We extend the multinomial logit model to represent some of the empirical phenomena that are frequently observed in the choices made by humans. These phenomena include the similarity effect, the attraction effect, and the compromise effect. We formally quantify the strength of these phenomena that can be represented by our choice model, which illuminates the flexibility of our choice model. We t...

This study was conducted with the central aim of ascertaining the socioeconomic impacts of kerosene (paraffin) pricing on alternative sources of energy in Ibadan, a city in South West Nigeria. Data were collected through a survey of residential properties in Ibadan metropolis. Both descriptive statistics and multinomial logistic regression model were used for the empirical analysis. The models ...
