“…In addition, we computed pseudo-R-squared coefficients to summarize the predictive power of the regression models. Similar to the R-square of ordinary least-squares regression, the normalized measure based on restricted and unrestricted maximized log-likelihood ratios was computed for the models developed in this analysis (Cragg and Uhler, 1970). This type of measure describes the power of the explanatory variables (oral health determinants) to predict the dependent variable (increments of d 3-6 mfs and d 1-6 mfs in this case) (Agresti, 2002).…”

Predictors of Dental Caries Progression in Primary Teeth

et al. 2009

The current evidence on the role of the social, behavioral, and community determinants of dental caries is based on cross-sectional analyses. The available evidence has not been based on analysis of multiple determinants within the same population. This longitudinal study addresses both of these limitations. The study included data from 788 dyads of children and their caregivers (77% follow-up), who were examined in 2002–03 and 2004–05. The families were assessed by calibrated dentists for severity of caries at both time periods. Additionally, the caregivers answered questionnaires administered by trained interviewers. The caries increment was adjusted for reversals. Significant predictors of higher caries increment were higher consumption of soda drinks, older age of child, greater weight-for-age, fewer dental treatment visits, higher baseline caries levels of children and their caregivers, dental fatalism, and neighborhood disadvantage status. The selected risk factors in the final model explained about 20% of the variation in the increment.

“…Because the process is neither sequential nor the outcomes, i.e. the investment decisions are ordered, we used a similar estimation method to the one used by Cragg and Uhler (1970) 4 . The major concern with multinomial logit regression is the violation of the independence of irrelevance alternatives.…”

Foreign Direct Investment in Central, Eastern and South Eastern Europe: an 'eclectic' approach to Greek investments

The fall of communism in Central, Eastern and Southern Eastern European countries (CESEC) has presented multinationals with new trade and investment opportunities. Since early 1990s the CESECs countries embarked on a transition process aimed at democratisation, achieving improved standards of living, setting up a functioning market economy and becoming full members of the EU or at least building closer political and economic relations with the organisation. Within this context, during the last decade Greece has emerged as one of the largest investors in the Central and Eastern and South Eastern European Countries. Greek firms making the most of their geographical proximity and capitalising on their cultural and commercial links with CESECs are heavily investing in those countries. This is the first paper to empirically evaluate the determinants of entry mode decisions of Greek firms participating in the Athens Stock Exchange. The main aim of the paper is to investigate foreign direct investment determinants using Dunning's eclectic paradigm. Our results offer strong support to the eclectic framework and suggest that it is the interrelation of ownership and locational advantages that can explain foreign investment activity. Keywords: Eclectic Framework, Greece, Modes of Entry, Central Eastern and South Eastern Countries

“…Table 6 here Overall, the model containing the independent variables shown in Table 6 was a significant predictor of whether a service user would be male or female, χ 2 (21, n = 2,080) = 278.2, p < .001. The pseudo--R 2 value of 0.20, calculated as described by Cragg and Uhler (1970), indicated that there was unexplained variation in the model. This was to be expected, since there are likely to be differences between male and female service users that could not be studied using the present data.…”

Immaterial Boys? A Large-Scale Exploration of Gender-Based Differences in Child Sexual Exploitation Service Users

2015

Child sexual exploitation is increasingly recognised nationally and internationally as a pressing child protection, crime prevention and public health issue. In the UK, for example, a recent series of highprofile cases has fuelled pressure on policy-makers and practitioners to improve responses. Yet, prevailing discourse, research and interventions around child sexual exploitation have focused overwhelmingly on female victims. This study was designed to help redress fundamental knowledge gaps around boys affected by sexual exploitation. This was achieved through rigorous quantitative analysis of individual-level data for 9,042 users of child sexual exploitation services in the UK. One third of the sample was male and gender was associated with statistically significant differences on many variables. The results of this exploratory study highlight the need for further targeted research and more nuanced and inclusive counter-strategies.
