Geodesic Mixed Effects Models for Repeatedly Observed/Longitudinal Random Objects
重复观测与纵向随机对象的测地线混合效应模型
Mixed effect modeling for longitudinal data is challenging when the observed data are random objects, which are complex data taking values in a general metric space without either global linear or local linear (Riemannian) structure. In such settings the classical additive error model and distributional assumptions are unattainable. Due to the rapid advancement of technology, longitudinal data containing complex random objects, such as covariance matrices, data on Riemannian…
