motherStress: Mother's Stress and Children's Morbidity Data
In mdhglm: Multivariate Double Hierarchical Generalized Linear Models

Description Usage Format References

Asar and Ilk (2014) considered the longitudinal data set from mother's stress and children's morbidity study (MSCM). In MSCM study, 167 mothers and their preschool children were enrolled for 28 days. Investigation of the serial dependence structures of the two longitudinal responses suggested a weak correlation structure for the period of days 1~16. Therefore, only the period of days 17~28 is considered in this data set.
