چکیده

We propose an iterative estimating equations procedure for analysis of longitudinal data. We show that, under very mild conditions, the probability that the procedure converges at an exponential rate tends to one as the sample size increases to infinity. Furthermore, we show that the limiting estimator is consistent and asymptotically efficient, as expected. The method applies to semiparametric regression models with unspecified covariances among the observations. In the special case of linear models, the procedure reduces to iterative reweighted least squares. Finite sample performance of the procedure is studied by simulations, and compared with other methods. A numerical example from a medical study is considered to illustrate the application of the method.

A new model of (I+S)-type preconditioner for system of linear equations

In this paper, we design a new model of preconditioner for systems of linear equations. The convergence properties of the proposed methods have been analyzed and compared with the classical methods. Numerical experiments of convection-diffusion equations show a good im- provement on the convergence, and show that the convergence rates of proposed methods are superior to the other modified itera...

On the modified iterative methods for $M$-matrix linear systems

This paper deals with scrutinizing the convergence properties of iterative methods to solve linear system of equations. Recently, several types of the preconditioners have been applied for ameliorating the rate of convergence of the Accelerated Overrelaxation (AOR) method. In this paper, we study the applicability of a general class of the preconditioned iterative methods under certain conditio...

A new Approximation to the solution of the linear matrix equation AXB = C

It is well-known that the matrix equations play a significant role in several applications in science and engineering. There are various approaches either direct methods or iterative methods to evaluate the solution of these equations. In this research article, the homotopy perturbation method (HPM) will employ to deduce the approximated solution of the linear matrix equation in the form AXB=C....

Estimation in Simple Step-Stress Model for the Marshall-Olkin Generalized Exponential Distribution under Type-I Censoring

This paper considers the simple step-stress model from the Marshall-Olkin generalized exponential distribution when there is time constraint on the duration of the experiment. The maximum likelihood equations for estimating the parameters assuming a cumulative exposure model with lifetimes as the distributed Marshall Olkin generalized exponential are derived. The likelihood equations do not lea...
