Specialized software Hierarchical linear modeling (HLM)
Output Age accounts for about 37.9% of the variability in Gesell score The regression model is significant, F(1,19) = 13.202, p = .002 The regression equation: Y’=109.874-1.127X Age is a significant predictor, t(9)=-3.633, p=.002. As age in months at first word increases by 1 month, the Gesell score is estimated to decrease by about 1.127 points (95% CI: -1.776, -.478)
Click to execute Enter the data Fit a Poisson loglinear model: log(Y/pop) = + 1(Fredericia) + 2(Horsens) + 3(Kolding) + 4(Age)
G2 = 46.45, df = 19, p < .01 City doesn’t seem to be a significant predictor, whereas Age does.

Fit another Poisson model: log(Y/pop) = +1(Fredericia) + 2(Horsens) + 3(Kolding) + 4(Age) + 5(Age)2 Both (Age) and (Age)2 are significant predictors.
Fit a third Poisson model (simpler): log(Y/pop) = + 1(Fredericia) + 2(Age) + 3(Age)2 All three predictors are significant.
