A term used by individuals whose gender identity/expression is different than what others perceive of them; this includes individuals who do not identify as male/female binary.

Category: Demographic Characteristics

"One’s internal, personal sense of their gender. Gender identity is best represented as a spectrum and an individual may move around this spectrum. Some terms that are associated with this spectrum are man, woman, gender fluid, genderqueer, trans, transgender and two-spirit, although these are not the only terms. Some individuals may identify as both man and woman, neither man nor woman, or non-binary."

"Generalized linear mixed models extend linear mixed models, or hierarchical linear models, to accommodate noncontinuous responses, such as binary responses or counts. Such models are useful when the data are clustered in some way, a canonical example in education being students nested in schools."

Generalizability refers to the ability for research findings to be applied accurately to a larger population. In order to ensure generalizability, researchers must carefully construct their research design to use a sample population that accurately reflects the larger population and realistic circumstances.

"Generalized Estimating Equations, or GEE, is a method for modeling longitudinal or clustered data. It is usually used with non-normal data such as binary or count data. The name refers to a set of equations that are solved to obtain parameter estimates (ie, model coefficients)."

Geo-baching, an abbreviation of geographical bachelor(ette), is when partners voluntarily live in separate locations from each other. It is different from being on unaccompanied orders, which are when the military does not allow the service member to bring his or her family to their next duty assignment, generally because of the nature of the orders, such as the location, a short tour length, medical clearance or similar reasons. Because unaccompanied orders are at the decision or convenience of the military, the service member will receive military quarters at his or her new location and the family in the separate location will receive a basic housing allowance for that location.
