Nonparametric Analysis of Clustered Multivariate Data
聚类多元数据的非参数分析
There is wide interest in extending univariate and multivariate nonparametric procedures to clustered and hierarchical data. Traditionally, parametric mixed models have been used to account for the correlation structures among the dependent observational units. In this work we extend multivariate nonparametric procedures for one-sample and several-sample location problems to clustered data settings. The results are given for a general score function, but with an emphasis on…
