Can longitudinal generalized estimating equation models distinguish network influence and homophily? An agent-based modeling approach to measurement characteristics
BACKGROUND Connected individuals (or nodes) in a network are more likely to be similar than two randomly selected nodes due to homophily and/or network influence. Distinguishing between these two influences is an important goal in network analysis, and generalized estimating equation (GEE) analyses of longitudinal dyadic network data are an attractive approach. It is not known to what extent su...
متن کاملModels for longitudinal data: a generalized estimating equation approach.
This article discusses extensions of generalized linear models for the analysis of longitudinal data. Two approaches are considered: subject-specific (SS) models in which heterogeneity in regression parameters is explicitly modelled; and population-averaged (PA) models in which the aggregate response for the population is the focus. We use a generalized estimating equation approach to fit both ...
متن کاملAn estimating equation approach to dimension reduction for longitudinal data
Sufficient dimension reduction has been extensively explored in the context of independent and identically distributed data. In this article we generalize sufficient dimension reduction to longitudinal data and propose an estimating equation approach to estimating the central mean subspace. The proposed method accounts for the covariance structure within each subject and improves estimation eff...
متن کاملReview of Software to Fit Generalized Estimating Equation Regression Models
Researchers are often interested in analyzing data that arise from a longitudinal or clustered design. Although there are a variety of standard likelihood-based approaches to analysis when the outcome variables are approximately multivariate normal, models for discrete-type outcomes generally require a different approach. Liang and Zeger formalized an approach to this problem using generalized ...
متن کاملAn Inversion-Free Estimating Equation Approach for Gaussian Process Models
Gaussian processes are a common analysis tool in statistics and uncertainty quantification. The covariance function of the process is generally unknown and often assumed to fall into some parameteric class. One of the scalability bottlenecks for the largescale usage of these processes is the computation of the maximum likelihood estimates of the parameters of the covariance matrix. In a classic...
