APPENDIX 1 A study examined families in three major cities in Thailand. The study focused on infant development in the context of the backgrounds and living conditions of families. 269 observations with complete observations are included in this analysis. Investigators studied predictors of infant behavioral characteristics. One of the characteristics "Excitability" was measured as the number of times an infant acted "excited" in a on hour period of time. Potential predictors included the baby's gestational age (gestation_weeks), the quality of the families living conditions (qols), mother's language-free nonverbal intelligence (TONI4_INDEX), the numbers of years of education of the father (FatherYrs Educ), the number of preterm births the mother had experienced (Preterm), and infant sex (0=female, 1=male).

Question
Investigators noted that the Deviance divided by the d.f. was greater than two. This could be an indication of which of the following? (List all that apply.)
a. There is more variability in the responses than one would expect with the Poison distribution.
b. There are interactions between two or more of the predictors.
c. The sample of infants used for the study was not an independent, random sample.
d. The investigators should dichotomize one of the continuous predictors to yield clearer policy implications.
e. The estimation algorithm to estimate the regression parameters had difficulty converging.
