Dynamic Regression of Longitudinal Trajectory Features
纵向轨迹特征的动态回归
Chronic disease studies often collect data on biological and clinical markers at follow-up visits to monitor disease progression. Viewing such longitudinal measurements governed by latent continuous trajectories, we develop a new dynamic regression framework to investigate the heterogeneity pattern of certain features of the latent individual trajectory that may carry substantive information on disease risk or status. Employing the strategy of multi-level modeling, we…
