The Analysis of Longitudinal Ordinal Response Data in Continuous Time
连续时间中的纵向有序响应数据分析
A simple Markov model is developed for assessing the predictive effect of time-dependent covariates on an intermittently observed ordinal response in continuous time. This is accomplished by reparameterizing an ergodic intensity matrix in terms of its equilibrium distribution and a parametrically independent component that assesses the rate of movement between ordinal categories. The effect of covariates on the equilibrium distribution can then be modeled using any link…
