一般纵向数据的可忽略性AI 解读

Likelihood factors that can be disregarded for inference are termed ignorable. We demonstrate that close ties exist between ignorability and identification of causal effects by covariate adjustment. A graphical condition, stability, plays a role analogous to that of missingness at random, but is applicable to general longitudinal data. Our formulation of ignorability does not depend on any notion of missing data, so is appealing in situations where missing data may not…

观测模式具有信息性时的纵向数据边际分析AI 解读

We consider solutions to generalized estimating equations with singular working correlation matrices, of which the estimator of Diggle et al. (2007) is a special case. We give explicit conditions for consistent estimation when the pattern of observations may be informative. In such cases, simulations reveal reduced bias and reduced mean squared error compared with existing alternatives. A study of peritoneal dialysis is used to illustrate the methodology.
