Semi-parametric Methods for Longitudinal Data Analysis

نویسنده

چکیده

Self-modeling regression is a powerful semi-parametric tool for analysis of longitudinal data with time-invariant covariates. This paper explores the use of self-modelling regression for tting data from a designed experiment in which the response is a curve. Recent advances in mixed nonlinear models and nonparametric regression with time series errors has made the use of mixed model self-modeling regression a feasible extension of parametric mixed model methods for studies in which the response is a curve.

Semi-parametric Quantile Regression for Analysing Continuous Longitudinal Responses

Recently, quantile regression (QR) models are often applied for longitudinal data analysis. When the distribution of responses seems to be skew and asymmetric due to outliers and heavy-tails, QR models may work suitably. In this paper, a semi-parametric quantile regression model is developed for analysing continuous longitudinal responses. The error term's distribution is assumed to be Asymmetr...

Regression Modeling for Spherical Data via Non-parametric and Least Square Methods

Introduction Statistical analysis of the data on the Earth's surface was a favorite subject among many researchers. Such data can be related to animal's migration from a region to another position. Then, statistical modeling of their paths helps biological researchers to predict their movements and estimate the areas that are most likely to constitute the presence of the animals. From a geome...

Analysis of Dynamic Longitudinal Categorical Data in Incomplete Contingency Tables Using Capture-Recapture Sampling: A case Study of Semi-Concentrated Doctoral Exam

Abstract. In this paper, dynamic longitudinal categorical data and estimation of their parameters in incomplete contingency tables are evaluated. To apply the proposed method, a study has been conducted on the data of the semi-concentrated doctoral exam of the National Organization for Educational Testing (NOET). The results of studies such as the obtained confidence intervals and calculating t...

Handling drop-out in longitudinal studies.

Drop-out is a prevalent complication in the analysis of data from longitudinal studies, and remains an active area of research for statisticians and other quantitative methodologists. This tutorial is designed to synthesize and illustrate the broad array of techniques that are used to address outcome-related drop-out, with emphasis on regression-based methods. We begin with a review of importan...
