Projected Partial Likelihood and Its Application to Longitudinal Data
投影部分似然及其在纵向数据中的应用
An estimating equation, which we call the projected partial score, is introduced for longitudinal data analysis. The estimating equation is obtained by projecting the partial likelihood score function onto the vector space spanned by a class of ‘conditionally linear’ estimating equations. We demonstrate that removing certain terms from the projection of the full likelihood score does not alter important inferential properties of the estimating equation, and doing so is…
