Semiparametric Stochastic Mixed Models for Longitudinal Data
纵向数据的半参数随机混合模型
We consider inference for a semiparametric stochastic mixed model for longitudinal data. This model uses parametric fixed effects to represent the covariate effects and an arbitrary smooth function to model the time effect and accounts for the within-subject correlation using random effects and a stationary or nonstationary stochastic process. We derive maximum penalized likelihood estimators of the regression coefficients and the nonparametric function. The resulting…
