The recursive model shows negative within-period effects from (liability to) CM to MY in all three lactation periods, and positive between-period effects from MY to (liability to) CM in the following period.
The recursive model showed negative within-period effects from (liability to) CM to test-day MY in all three lactation periods, and positive between-period effects from test-day MY to (liability to) CM in the following period.
All models show a negative association between lung function and long-term exposure to NO2, meaning that higher air pollution exposure is associated with decreased lung function as measured by FVC.
With the exception of two chromosome arms (Chr2 R and Chr3 L), the smoothed linear wavelet models show significant negative correlations between recombination and distance from centromeres at scales up to 512 kb (fig. 4).
It can be observed from Table 3 that the parameters show negative values for Model 2 and Model 3. Therefore, these two models were rejected.
In ER/PR-positive patients, adiponectin and metabolic syndrome did not show any significant trends (all P for trend > 0.05) whereas HOMA-IR (P-value for trend = 0.022 in model 1, 0.016 in model 2) and insulin (P-value for trend = 0.046 in model 1, 0.036 in model 2) showed negative trends.
However, when cost of abortion was introduced in the model, age showed negative and statistically significant (at 5% level) relationship with abortion demand.
Without exception, the models show the significant negative effect of the influenza pandemic on Japan's population (via the flu dummy described in the Technical Appendix); the calculated population loss ranged from 1.38 to 2.05 million persons.
All models showed excellent negative predictive values (NPVs; range: 86 100%), while the positive ones were low (range: 17 50%).
Individual hourly lag models showed consistent negative associations of ST-segment level with increased BC for the first 12 hr before testing, but with waning effects after 12 hr.
