Multivariate linear mixed models for multiple outcomes.
We propose a multivariate linear mixed (MLMM) for the analysis of multiple outcomes, which generalizes the latent variable model of Sammel and Ryan. The proposed model assumes a flexible correlation structure among the multiple outcomes, and allows a global test of the impact of exposure across outcomes. In contrast to the Sammel-Ryan model, the MLMM separates the mean and correlation parameter...
متن کاملMultivariate extended skew - t distributions and related families
A class of multivariate extended skew-t (E ST ) distributions is introduced and studied in detail, along with closely related families such as the subclass of extended skew-normal distributions. Besides mathematical tractability and modeling flexibility in terms of both skewness and heavier tails than the normal distribution, the most relevant properties of the E ST distribution include closure...
متن کاملRegularized multivariate regression models with skew-t error distributions
We consider regularization of the parameters in multivariate linear regression models with the errors having a multivariate skew-t distribution. An iterative penalized likelihood procedure is proposed for constructing sparse estimators of both the regression coefficient and inverse scale matrices simultaneously. The sparsity is introduced through penalizing the negative log-likelihood by adding...
متن کاملMAXIMUM LIKELIHOOD INFERENCE IN ROBUST LINEAR MIXED-EFFECTS MODELS USING MULTIVARIATE t DISTRIBUTIONS
This paper focuses on the problem of maximum likelihood estimation in linear mixed-effects models where outliers or unduly large observations are present in clustered or longitudinal data. Multivariate t distributions are often imposed on either random effects and/or random errors to incorporate outliers. A powerful algorithm of maximum by parts (MBP) proposed by Song, Fan and Kalbfleisch (2005...
