The covariation patterns of DSM-IV personality disorders (PDs) were studied in 431 consecutively admitted psychiatric patients. The co-occurrence rate was greater than 50% for all DSM-IV PDs. Both bivariate association tests and loglinear models showed distinct significant covariation patterns among PDs which were stable across confounder strata. DSM-IV PD clusters were not replicated, with the...

Caussinus’s loglinear model of quasi symmetry has interesting connections with models for within-subject effects with repeated categorical measurement. For binary responses, Tjur (1982) showed that estimates of main effect parameters in the quasi-symmetry model are also conditional maximum likelihood estimates of item parameters for a fixed effects treatment of subject terms in the Rasch item r...

Using the three criteria known as “Iron Triangle,” this study examines and analyzes ramifications effects of offset constraints on defense projects. Such projects, managed vis-à-vis governments international authorities, contend with a constraint that does not exist in other domains: offset, an obligation condition for sale products to purchasing government. The combines qualitative tools, ten ...

Fisheries management requires spatially congruent production and assessment areas. Canada’s Northern cod, initially considered a stock complex distributed from northern Labrador to Grand Bank, had its boundary reduced southern in the early 1970s. Spatial incongruence has resulted spawning biomass (SSB) recruitment (R) between historical recent eras. To investigate temporal changes, four stanzas...

Abstract Research background: Due to the rapid spread of COVID-19 virus and its pernicious effects on economy, a great change can be observed in consumer attitudes towards shopping. Needless say, demand for necessities comes fore, consumers need face lot hindrances when it decision-making process. It should emphasised that have responsibilities rights. One legitimately raise question. Are they ...

In this study we investigate three properties of the left vowel context which we hypothesize to underlie deletion of /r/ in postvocalic, preconsonantal position in Dutch spontaneous speech: vowel type (schwa, full vowel), vowel length (long, short) and lexical stress (+,-). For each of five categories 90 instances with possible /r/-realizations were extracted from a large speech database contai...

Estimates of the effects of treatment on cost from observational studies are subject to bias if there are unmeasured confounders. It is therefore advisable in practice to assess the potential magnitude of such biases. We derive a general adjustment formula for loglinear models of mean cost and explore special cases under plausible assumptions about the distribution of the unmeasured confounder....

The relationship between initial population density of Globodera pallida and yield was examined in five partially resistant and one non-resistant potato genotypes in a field trial. In the previous year, the experimental area had been manipulated using resistant and non-resistant potato genotypes to give plots with a range of initial population densities. The results showed that there were diffe...

Paraphrase patterns are useful in paraphrase recognition and generation. In this paper, we present a pivot approach for extracting paraphrase patterns from bilingual parallel corpora, whereby the English paraphrase patterns are extracted using the sentences in a foreign language as pivots. We propose a loglinear model to compute the paraphrase likelihood of two patterns and exploit feature func...
