“…We used log-linear models (Knoke & Burke, 1990) to test whether the observed frequency for the eight possible combinations presented above followed the expected pattern under the hypothesis of no association of nutritional status among household members. In case of rejection of the hypothesis of independence, that is, in case the observed distribution signi®-cantly differed from the expected one, a log-linear model was ®tted in order to incorporate the parameters of the associations father-child, mother-child and fathermother.…”

Patterns of intra-familiar distribution of undernutrition: methods and applications for developing societies

Objective: To propose a method to assess patterns of intra-familiar distribution of undernutrition and apply it to different socioeconomic strata of the Brazilian population. Design: A large nationally representative cross-sectional anthropometric survey undertaken in 1989 is the primary source of information. Undernutrition was de®ned as body mass index (adults) and weight-for-age (children) below the 5th percentile of a healthy and non-malnourished reference population. Log-linear models were used to assess patterns of intra-familiar distribution of nutritional status in four income strata. Subjects: Two thousand, one hundred and seventy-four families composed by at least one child 6±36 month-old and his/her father and mother. Setting: All regions in Brazil. Results: Undernutrition was signi®cantly associated among household members only for the 25% poorest families (P`0.0001). In this group, the presence of undernutrition in the mother or the father increased 1.6±1.9 times the risk of undernutrition in the child and the presence of undernutrition in the father made it 2.7 times more frequent in the mother. The relatively small prevalence ratios suggest that even in extremely poor families only a small proportion of undernutrition could be attributed to common household determinants. Conclusion: Our results are consistent with the hypothesis that in transitional societies undernutrition would appear as a global family problem only for those at the earlier stages of the nutrition transition. Policies and strategies to overcome undernutrition should take this fact into account.

“…This model is analogous to the saturated log-linear model described in texts on categorical data analysis (e.g., Agresti 1996;Bishop, Fienberg and Holland 1975;Knoke and Burke 1980).…”

A multiplicative component model is applied in this paper to present a simple, yet powerful, framework for analyzing and projecting internal migration flows. The multiplicative components are useful for identifying important underlying structures in the migration patterns. To demonstrate, seven periods of age-specific interregional migration in Italy (1970-1971 to 2000-2001) are analyzed. This information is then used to project the age and spatial structures forward to the 2010-2011 period. The projection model focuses on the underlying structures, which allows both the stable and changing aspects of the migration patterns to be included.

“…The modelling process deletes higher order interaction terms until it finds the smallest number of interactions between the four variables that provide at least as good a model (the parsimonious model) as the saturated model. In addition, the results reveal any combination of autonomy and use of networks variables that are significantly related to increased use of domestic sourcing in any particular model (Knoke and Burke, 1980).…”

This paper investigates the development of domestic sourcing by foreign-owned subsidiaries (FOS) in the UK. The regional development and international-business literatures are used to develop a conceptual framework on the links between autonomy, the use of networks, and domestic sourcing. Data from a survey of German, French, and US FOS in the UK is used to test the model. The results indicate that increased use of networks and increased operational decision-making autonomy are associated with increased domestic sourcing, but that only a minority of FOS are increasing their use of domestic sourcing. The growing importance of global sourcing is considered as a possible explanation for the low proportion of FOS that are increasing their use of domestic sourcing. The implications for regional-development policy of the findings are also assessed.
