Does Type of Pain Predict Pain Severity Changes in Individuals With Multiple Sclerosis? A Longitudinal Analysis Using Generalized Estimating Equations
Background & Objective: Pain is a common symptom among people with MS. In the majority of MS patients, pain is chronic in nature, but it can change over time. The objective of this study was to determine if pain type can predict pain severity changes in individuals with MS over time. Materials & Methods: The research method was a longitudinal design that evaluated pain type and severity at...
متن کاملUsing Generalized Estimating Equations for Longitudinal Data Analysis
The generalized estimating equation (GEE) approach of Zeger and Liang facilitates analysis of data collected in longitudinal, nested, or repeated measures designs. GEEs use the generalized linear model to estimate more efficient and unbiased regression parameters relative to ordinary least squares regression in part because they permit specification of a working correlation matrix that accounts...
متن کاملPenalized generalized estimating equations for high-dimensional longitudinal data analysis.
We consider the penalized generalized estimating equations (GEEs) for analyzing longitudinal data with high-dimensional covariates, which often arise in microarray experiments and large-scale health studies. Existing high-dimensional regression procedures often assume independent data and rely on the likelihood function. Construction of a feasible joint likelihood function for high-dimensional ...
متن کاملA covariance estimator for GEE with improved small-sample properties.
In this paper, we propose an alternative covariance estimator to the robust covariance estimator of generalized estimating equations (GEE). Hypothesis tests using the robust covariance estimator can have inflated size when the number of independent clusters is small. Resampling methods, such as the jackknife and bootstrap, have been suggested for covariance estimation when the number of cluster...
متن کاملRobust covariance estimator for small-sample adjustment in the generalized estimating equations: A simulation study
The robust or sandwich estimator is common to estimate the covariance matrix of the estimated regression parameter for generalized estimating equation (GEE) method to analyze longitudinal data. However, the robust estimator would underestimate the variance under a small sample size. We propose an alternative covariance estimator to the robust estimator to improve the small-sample bias in the GE...
