Effects of kefir consumption on multivariate analyses of the predictors of the concentrations of osteocalcin, estradiol, parathyroid hormone (PTH), and β C-terminal telopeptide of type I collagen (β-CTX) using multiple linear regression models with the generalized estimating equations (GEE) method.¹

1The repeated measures data were analyzed by multiple marginal regression models using the generalized estimating equations (GEE) method to assess the effects of treatment, learning session and trial on escape latency. 2Number of observations = 38, the coefficient of determination (R2) was 0.579, indicating that the correlation between the observed response value and the predicted value of the response variable was about 0.76. 3Number of observations = 39, the coefficient of determination (R2) was 0.552, indicating that the correlation between the observed response value and the predicted value of the response variable was about 0.74.
