Estimation in covariate-adjusted regression
نویسندگان
چکیده
We propose a new estimation procedure for covariate adjusted nonlinear regression models for situations where both the predictors and response in a nonlinear regression model are not directly observed, however distorted versions of the predictors and response are observed. The distorted versions are assumed to be contaminated with a multiplicative factor that is determined by the value of an unknown function of an observable covariate. We demonstrate how the regression coefficients can be estimated by establishing a connection to nonlinear varyingcoefficient models. Simulation studies are used to illustrate the efficacy of the proposed estimation algorithm. Literature Review:CAR Consider the multiple regression model,

Covariate adjustment in randomized trials with binary outcomes: targeted maximum likelihood estimation.
Covariate adjustment using linear models for continuous outcomes in randomized trials has been shown to increase efficiency and power over the unadjusted method in estimating the marginal effect of treatment. However, for binary outcomes, investigators generally rely on the unadjusted estimate as the literature indicates that covariate-adjusted estimates based on the logistic regression models ...
متن کاملInference for Covariate Adjusted Regression via Varying Coefficient Models
We consider covariate adjusted regression (CAR), a regression method for situations where predictors and response are observed after being distorted by a multiplicative factor. The distorting factors are unknown functions of an observable covariate, where one specific distorting function is associated with each predictor or response. The dependence of both response and predictors on the same co...
متن کاملCovariate-Adjusted Precision Matrix Estimation with an Application in Genetical Genomics.
Motivated by analysis of genetical genomics data, we introduce a sparse high dimensional multivariate regression model for studying conditional independence relationships among a set of genes adjusting for possible genetic effects. The precision matrix in the model specifies a covariate-adjusted Gaussian graph, which presents the conditional dependence structure of gene expression after the con...
متن کاملAsymptotic Properties of Covariate - Adjusted Adaptive Designs
Owing to the benefits that higher proportions of patients are likely to receive the better treatment, response-adaptive designs are considered to be valuable statistical tools in clinical studies. Nevertheless, there is a lack of a comprehensive study of adaptive designs with the inclusion of covariates, regardless of their importance in clinical experiments. The major reason is that covariatea...
متن کاملDistortion Diagnostics for Covariate-adjusted Regression: Graphical Techniques Based on Local Linear Modeling
Linear regression models are often useful tools for exploring the relationship between a response and a set of explanatory (predictor) variables. When both the observed response and the predictor variables are contaminated/distorted by unknown functions of an observable confounder, inferring the underlying relationship between the latent (unobserved) variables is more challenging. Recently, Şen...
