Optimal smoothing in nonparametric mixed-effect models
非参数混合效应模型中的最优平滑
Mixed-effect models are widely used for the analysis of correlated data such as longitudinal data and repeated measures. In this article, we study an approach to the nonparametric estimation of mixed-effect models. We consider models with parametric random effects and flexible fixed effects, and employ the penalized least squares method to estimate the models. The issue to be addressed is the selection of smoothing parameters through the generalized cross-validation method,…
