Numerical approximations in weighted estimating equations for regression models with missing continuous covariates
1 Summary Missing covariate data is a common problem that complicates the fitting of regression models (e.g., generalized linear models) in many applications. A recently developed technique for handling missing covariate data is the weighted estimating equations (WEE) approach (Robins et al., 1994; Lipsitz et al., 1999). In the WEE approach, the contribution to the estimating equations from a c...
متن کاملTwo-step Spline Estimating Equations for Generalized Additive Partially Linear Models with Large Cluster Sizes by Shujie Ma
We propose a two-step estimating procedure for generalized additive partially linear models with clustered data using estimating equations. Our proposed method applies to the case that the number of observations per cluster is allowed to increase with the number of independent subjects. We establish oracle properties for the two-step estimator of each function component such that it performs as...
متن کاملThe cluster bootstrap consistency in generalized estimating equations
The cluster bootstrap resamples clusters or subjects instead of individual observations in order to preserve the dependence within each cluster or subject. In this paper, we provide a theoretical justification of using the cluster bootstrap for the inferences of the generalized estimating equations (GEE) for clustered/longitudinal data. Under the general exchangeable bootstrap weights, we show ...
متن کاملGeneralized Bootstrap for Estimating Equations
We introduce a generalized bootstrap technique for estimators obtained by solving estimating equations. Some special cases of this generalized bootstrap are the classical bootstrap of Efron, the deleted jackknife and variations of the Bayesian bootstrap. The use of the proposed technique is discussed in some examples. Distributional consistency of the method is established and an asymptotic rep...
متن کاملGeneralized Estimating Equations
It is a privilege to be able to peruse the fine article by Ziegler and Vens [1], as well as the contributions made by nine discussants [2]. Over the last 25 years, generalized estimating equations (GEE) have seen an ever further spreading use. Nonetheless, it is a technique confronted with confusion and, at times, misunderstanding. The user must carefully read the technique’s manual. Let us hig...
