Analysing ordinal longitudinal survey data: Generalised estimating equations approach
有序纵向调查数据分析:广义估计方程方法
Longitudinal survey data may comprise ordinal polytomous repeated observations and a set of multidimensional covariates for a large number of individuals. One of the main goals of the longitudinal survey is then to describe the marginal expectation of the ordinal polytomous outcome variable as a function of the covariates while accounting for the structural as well as longitudinal correlations. The structural correlations come from the polytomous nature of the response…
