Mixed-effect hybrid models for longitudinal data with nonignorable dropout.
SUMMARY Selection models and pattern-mixture models are often used to deal with nonignorable dropout in longitudinal studies. These two classes of models are based on different factorizations of the joint distribution of the outcome process and the dropout process. We consider a new class of models, called mixed-effect hybrid models (MEHMs), where the joint distribution of the outcome process a...
متن کاملComparing the Efficiency of Dmus with Normal and Skew-Normal Distribution using Data Envelopment Analysis
Data envelopment analysis (DEA) is a nonparametric approach to evaluate theefficiency of decision making units (DMU) using mathematical programmingtechniques. Almost, all of the previous researches in stochastic DEA have been usedthe stochastic data when the inputs and outputs are normally distributed. But, thisassumption may not be true in practice. Therefore, using a normal distribution wi...
متن کاملMixtures of varying coefficient models for longitudinal data with discrete or continuous nonignorable dropout.
The analysis of longitudinal repeated measures data is frequently complicated by missing data due to informative dropout. We describe a mixture model for joint distribution for longitudinal repeated measures, where the dropout distribution may be continuous and the dependence between response and dropout is semiparametric. Specifically, we assume that responses follow a varying coefficient rand...
متن کاملtmvtnorm: A Package for the Truncated Multivariate Normal Distribution
Abstract In this article we present tmvtnorm, an R package implementation for the truncated multivariate normal distribution. We consider random number generation with rejection and Gibbs sampling, computation of marginal densities as well as computation of the mean and covariance of the truncated variables. This contribution brings together latest research in this field and provides useful met...
متن کاملA Comparative Review of Selection Models in Longitudinal Continuous Response Data with Dropout
Missing values occur in studies of various disciplines such as social sciences, medicine, and economics. The missing mechanism in these studies should be investigated more carefully. In this article, some models, proposed in the literature on longitudinal data with dropout are reviewed and compared. In an applied example it is shown that the selection model of Hausman and Wise (1979, Econometri...
