This study examines how acute and chronic stresses associated with functional declines in seniors and their spouses are moderated by their informal and formal support contexts. In the United States, states vary greatly in their support for home and community-based services (HCBS) for seniors...

Taylor and Thompson [15] introduced a clever algorithm for simulating multivariate continuous data sets that resemble the original data. Their approach is predicated upon determining a few nearest neighbors of a given row of data through a statistical distance measure, and subsequently combining...

Formulas for estimating sample sizes are presented to provide specified levels of power for tests of significance from a longitudinal design allowing for subject attrition. These formulas are derived for a comparison of two groups in terms of single degree-of-freedom contrasts of population...

MIXNO provides maximum marginal likelihood estimates for mixed-effects nominal logistic regression analysis. These models can be used for analysis of correlated nominal response data, for example, data arising from a clustered or longitudinal design. For such data, the mixed-effects model...
