چکیده

in many area of medical research, a relation analysis between one response variable and some explanatory variables is desirable. regression is the most common tool in this situation. if we have some assumptions for such normality for response variable, we could use it. in this paper we propose a nonparametric regression that does not have normality assumption for response variable and we focus on longitudinal data. materials and methods: consider nonparametric estimation in a varying coefficient model with repeated measurements ( x tij yij ij, , ), for i=1, …, n and j =1 ,… , ni where xij=txijo xijk ( ,..., ) and ( x tij yij ij , , ) denote the jth outcome , covariate and time design points, respectively , of the ith subject. the model considered here is y (tij) i (tij) t yij ij    , where ( )  ( 0 ( ),..., ( )) , for k  0 t t k  t  t  , are smooth nonparametric functions of interest and (t )  i is a zero-mean stochastic process. the measurements are assumed to be independent for different subjects but can be correlated at different time points within each subject. for evaluating this model, we use data of a cohort of 289 healthy infants born in shiraz in 2007. the proposed nonparametric regression was fitted to them for obtaining effect rates of mother weight, mother arm circumference and maternal age at delivery time and maternal age at first menarche on boy’s arm circumference. results: proposed nonparametric regression showed the varied effect of each independent variable over the time but other models achieved constant effect over the time that is in controversy with the inherent property of these natural phenomena. conclusion: this study shows that this model and the spline nonparametric estimator could be useful in different areas of medical and health studies.

Nonparametric Regression Estimation under Kernel Polynomial Model for Unstructured Data

The nonparametric estimation(NE) of kernel polynomial regression (KPR) model is a powerful tool to visually depict the effect of covariates on response variable, when there exist unstructured and heterogeneous data. In this paper we introduce KPR model that is the mixture of nonparametric regression models with bootstrap algorithm, which is considered in a heterogeneous and unstructured framewo...

Nonparametric Regression Analysis of Multivariate Longitudinal Data

Multivariate longitudinal data are common in medical, industrial and social science research. However, statistical analysis of such data in the current literature is restricted to linear or parametric modeling, which is inappropriate for applications in which the assumed parametric models are invalid. On the other hand, all existing nonparametric methods for analyzing longitudinal data are for ...

Nonparametric Regression Analysis of Longitudinal Data

Nonparametric approaches have recently emerged as a flexible way to model longitudinal data. This entry reviews some of the common nonparametric approaches to incorporate time and other covariate effects for longitudinally observed response data. Smoothing procedures are invoked to estimate the associated nonparametric functions, but the choice of smoothers can vary and is often subjective. Bot...

Efficient semiparametric regression for longitudinal data with nonparametric covariance estimation

For longitudinal data, when the within-subject covariance is misspecified, the semiparametric regression estimator may be inefficient. We propose a method that combines the efficient semiparametric estimator with nonparametric covariance estimation, and is robust against misspecification of covariance models. We show that kernel covariance estimation provides uniformly consistent estimators for...
