As we argue above, the strength of this approach is to examine these two constructs (neurological soft signs and neurocognitive functions) at an explanatory level rather than an exploratory level.
The GAMLSS model (Rigby and Stasinopoulos 2005) assumes a parametric distribution for the response variable Y, the seasonal precipitation amount in this study, and models the distribution parameters as functions of an explanatory variable, time t i and the climatic indices AO i, NPO i, PDO i, and SOI i.
Occurrences of matings in Experiment 3 were analyzed using a mixed model (with binomial error and logit link function), with Treatment (3 treatment levels) as an explanatory variable (fixed effect) and family as a random effect to allow for the fact that more than one female per family was tested in this experiment.
Among them was Theatres of the Mind: Dissecting Brain Function, a mixed-media and performance installation serving as an explanatory platform for all things neuroscience.

Further, the circumstances of families with Indigenous children (parenting quality, stress, family composition, overcrowding, household mobility, racism and family functioning) emerged as an important explanatory mechanism underpinning the relationship between child mental health and measures of material wellbeing such as carer employment status and family financial circumstances.
The baseline data include alcohol and tobacco use, diet and physical activity levels, which may function as explanatory factors linking socioeconomic trajectories to health outcomes in later life.
When FEV1 was added to the latter model, indirectly incorporating the upstream environmental predictors of lung function as well, the explanatory power of the model increased to 25%.
Physical addiction and diseased psychology trump an unhappy marriage as an explanatory force.
