Model diagnostic tests for selecting informative correlation structure in correlated data
相关数据中信息性相关结构选择的模型诊断检验
In the generalized method of moments approach to longitudinal data analysis, unbiased estimating functions can be constructed to incorporate both the marginal mean and the correlation structure of the data. Increasing the number of parameters in the correlation structure corresponds to increasing the number of estimating functions. Thus, building a correlation model is equivalent to selecting estimating functions. This paper proposes a chi-squared test to choose informative…
