In this paper random-effects logistic models are used to analyze the effects of the preceding birth interval on postneonatal mortality in Brazil, controlling for the correlation of survival outcomes between siblings. The results are compared to those obtained by using ordinary logistic regression. Family effects are found to be highly significant in the random-effects model, but the substantive conclusions of the ordinary logistic model are preserved. In particular, birth interval effects remain highly significant.
在本文中，随机效应逻辑模型被用于分析巴西前次生育间隔对新生儿后期死亡率的影响，同时控制兄弟姐妹间生存结果的相关性。研究结果与使用普通逻辑回归得到的结果进行了比较。结果发现，在随机效应模型中家庭效应非常显著，但普通逻辑模型的实质性结论得以保留。特别是，生育间隔效应仍然非常显著。
