Generalized empirical likelihood methods for analyzing longitudinal data.
Efficient estimation of parameters is a major objective in analyzing longitudinal data. We propose two generalized empirical likelihood based methods that take into consideration within-subject correlations. A nonparametric version of the Wilks theorem for the limiting distributions of the empirical likelihood ratios is derived. It is shown that one of the proposed methods is locally efficient ...
متن کاملEmpirical likelihood for generalized linear models with longitudinal data
In this paper, empirical likelihood-based inference for longitudinal data within the framework of generalized linear model is investigated. The proposed procedure takes into account the within-subject correlation without involving direct estimation of nuisance parameters in the correlation matrix and retains optimal even if the working correlation structure is misspecified. The proposed approac...
متن کاملOn Generalized Empirical Likelihood Methods
We introduce estimation and test procedures through divergence minimization for models satisfying linear constraints with unknown parameter. These procedures extend the empirical likelihood (EL) method and share common features with generalized empirical likelihood (GEL) approach. We treat the problems of existence and characterization of the divergence projections of probability measures on se...
متن کاملAnalyzing Data Sets with Missing Data: An Empirical Evaluation of Imputation Methods and Likelihood-Based Methods
ÐMissing data are often encountered in data sets used to construct effort prediction models. Thus far, the common practice has been to ignore observations with missing data. This may result in biased prediction models. In this paper, we evaluate four missing data techniques (MDTs) in the context of software cost modeling: listwise deletion (LD), mean imputation (MI), similar response pattern im...
