Table V. Parameter Estimates of Covariate for Children Reported Asthma in the CHS in BMHMM^{^}.

	Mean (95% CI)	OR (95% CI)
Prevalence probability:
Age	0.44 (-0.63,1.47)	1.55 (0.53,4.35)
Allergy	0.9 (-0.01,1.79)	2.46 (0.99,5.99)
Severe Wheeze	1.65 (0.52,2.71)*	5.21 (1.68,15.03)*
Transition probability:
Age	-0.76 (-1.59,-0.19)*	0.47 (0.20,0.83)*
Allergy	0.98 (0.18,1.69)*	2.66 (1.20,5.42)*

Family History of Asthma	1.01 (0.23,1.85)*	2.75 (1.26,6.36)*
Misclassification probability:
AboveHS†
When Latent True Asthma=0	-0.16 (-1.08,0.74)	0.85 (0.34,2.10)
When Latent True Asthma=1	1.33 (0.04,2.57)*	3.78 (1.04,13.07)*
Current Wheeze	1.21 (0.38,2.06)*	3.35 (1.46,7.85)*

^{^}In the prevalence and transition probability models, we also adjusted for gender, and race/ethnicity. Medication use and Forced Expiratory Volume (FEV) were adjusted in prevalence models. Transition models were also adjusted for Ozone, number of sports and their interaction. In the misclassification probability models, we also adjusted for age and gender. Latent true asthma variable and its interaction with age were included in the misclassification model. Town-level random effect is included in the transition process.

^†AboveHS: An indicator variable of whether children come from families with education above the high school level.
