Semiparametric and Nonparametric Regression Analysis of Longitudinal Data
纵向数据的半参数与非参数回归分析
This article deals with the regression analysis of repeated measurements taken at irregular and possibly subject-specific time points. The proposed semiparametric and nonparametric models postulate that the marginal distribution for the repeatedly measured response variable Y at time t is related to the vector of possibly time-varying covariates X through the equations E{Y(t)|| X(t} = α0(t) + β′0X(t) and E{Y(t)||X(t)} = α0(t)+ β′0(t)X(t), where α0(t) is an arbitrary function…
