Appendix 6 As A Final Model

* Independent variable coefficient – This is the measured effect the independent variables have on the dependent variable. This is the main output of the regression analysis.

The model predicts that on average, the weight of the infant at birth to be 3193.471 grams if the mother is unmarried. Also, the model predicts the baby to be on average 95 grams heavier if the mother is married. R-squared of 0.007 or 0.7% tells us that only 0.7% of the variations in birth weight can be explained by the variation in the marital status of the mother; 99.3% of the birth weight variations are due to other factors. This model does show the correlation between the mother’s marital status and child’s birth weight; however, it is impossible to say if there is a casual effect. The results are statistically significant at p<0.001 or p<0.1%: there is 0.1% chance to observe the

Describe the impact of extremely low birth weight babies on family and society (short and long term, including economic considerations, ongoing care considerations, and comorbidities associated with prematurity).

Lastly, once you have completed the steps outlined above, you can interpret the results and summarize your findings. Table (ii) is a detailed summary of the final output from the regression analysis. As all p-values are less than 0.05, you can conclude that these variables are significant and should be used in the final multiple regression equations.

As mentioned above, our study will encompass two types of predictions, a null and alternative hypothesis. Specifically, in our particular study, the null hypothesis in the scenario is that there is no difference in birth weight when comparing women and men, biological genders, at the time of birth. In opposition, the alternative hypothesis will suggest that on average men do weigh more at birth in comparison to females at birth. In particular, through scientific research and statistical studies, our group will confirm

Using the regression function in excel, the model is given by C=4.5t+35.7857 with an R2 value of 0.9652.

Statistics are used in all areas of life, and there is a great deal of information involved. It is imperative for an individual to understand and accurately interpret the statistical data they are viewing. This paper will discuss interpretation of various statistical terms. It will also discuss and address possible issues of a selected peer-reviewed article.

The perinatal adversities seen in women with LMW highlights a nutritional or constitutional mechanism of these complications. The data by Ehrenberg et.al (2003) suggests that “the contribution of maternal weight gain in pregnancy is a predominant influence among complications such as prematurity, preterm labor, and LBW”. Weight gained in pregnancy can be considered a crucial predictor of adverse outcomes than weight or BMI at delivery (Ehrenberg et.al 2003). Inadequate GWG in pregnancy may bring forth nutritional deficiencies that increases the predisposition to preterm delivery (Ehrenberg et.al 2003). In terms of prematurity, Ehrenberg et.al (2003) found that the effect of GWG during pregnancy is greater than the influence of

The regression analysis was initially run using all variables to determine the significance of each when associated

Project Topic: The relationship between a woman 's exposure to stressful life events prior to conception and experiencing preterm birth, low birth weight and/or small for gestational age.

a. How does this model compare to the previous model using R-squared? Explain what this difference in the R-squared values means in simple terms.

a. Covariates appearing in the model are evaluated at the following values: sex of the participant = .4000.

Statistical analysis was carried out using the software program Anova one-way unstacked. Quantitative data were presented as mean and standard deviation. Pearson correlation for measuring covariance of two variables divided by the product of their standard deviations measures the strength of a linear association between two variables and is denoted by r. The Receiver Operator Characteristic (ROC) curve was used for prediction of pre-eclampsia using sensitivity, specificity, accuracy and the predictive values (positive and negative).

This experimental study with pretest-posttest design was carried out on 100 pregnant women (gestational age of 14-25 weeks) in Gerash, Fars, Iran, in 2015. Based on the previous similar study ((عفت قومی,, considering alpha=0.05 and power=80%, a 96-subject sample size was determined for the study 48 subjects in each group. Yet, considering the probability of loss, the sample size was increased to
