"Conclusions from studies vary regarding the association of weight loss among obese people and measures of health and/or mortality. Total weight loss for individuals in a population may be a combination of intentional weight loss (IWL) and unintentional weight loss (UWL). Among people who have no intention to lose weight, the total weight loss observed is UWL. Among people who have intention to lose weight, the total weight loss is assumed to be UWL and IWL. Note that total weight loss among subjects intending to lose weight is observable but IWL itself is not and, therefore, the latent variable that …

"In this paper we study the topological properties of continua which arise as inverse limits on [0; 1] with bonding maps chosen from the permutation family of Markov maps. For such inverse limits, we examine the occurrence of indecomposability, the number of end points in the continuum, and the types of subcontinua present in the continuum. We provide a process for determining the topological structure of the inverse limit generated by a single permutation map, or by the composition of several such maps. Additionally, we show that all such inverse limits are Kelley continua. We will apply these results to …
