Bayesian Semiparametric Functional Mixed Models for Serially Correlated Functional Data, With Application to Glaucoma Data
序列相关函数数据的贝叶斯半参数函数混合模型：青光眼数据应用
Glaucoma, a leading cause of blindness, is characterized by optic nerve damage related to intraocular pressure (IOP), but its full etiology is unknown. Researchers at UAB have devised a custom device to measure scleral strain continuously around the eye under fixed levels of IOP, which here is used to assess how strain varies around the posterior pole, with IOP, and across glaucoma risk factors such as age. The hypothesis is that scleral strain decreases with age, which…
