Working-correlation-structure identification in generalized estimating equations.
Selecting an appropriate working correlation structure is pertinent to clustered data analysis using generalized estimating equations (GEE) because an inappropriate choice will lead to inefficient parameter estimation. We investigate the well-known criterion of QIC for selecting a working correlation structure, and have found that performance of the QIC is deteriorated by a term that is theoret...
متن کاملSelecting the Working Correlation Structure in Generalized Estimating Equations with Application to the Lung Health Study
The generalized estimating equation GEE approach is becoming more and more popular in handling correlated response data for example in longitudinal studies An attractive property of the GEE is that one can use some working correlation structure that may be wrong but the resulting regression coe cient estimate is still consistent and asymptotically normal One convenient choice is the independenc...
متن کاملModel selection for generalized estimating equations accommodating dropout missingness.
The generalized estimating equation (GEE) has been a popular tool for marginal regression analysis with longitudinal data, and its extension, the weighted GEE approach, can further accommodate data that are missing at random (MAR). Model selection methodologies for GEE, however, have not been systematically developed to allow for missing data. We propose the missing longitudinal information cri...
متن کاملGeneralized Estimating Equations
It is a privilege to be able to peruse the fine article by Ziegler and Vens [1], as well as the contributions made by nine discussants [2]. Over the last 25 years, generalized estimating equations (GEE) have seen an ever further spreading use. Nonetheless, it is a technique confronted with confusion and, at times, misunderstanding. The user must carefully read the technique’s manual. Let us hig...
متن کاملA Generalized Estimating Equations
When inferences focus on population averages, one can directly model all of the marginal expectations E(Yij) = μij in terms of covariates of interest. This is typically done via h(μij) = x ′ ijβ, with h(·) some known link function, such as the logit link for binary responses. The marginal variance depends on the marginal mean according to Var(Yij) = v(μij)φ, where v(·) is a known variance funct...
