Statistical analysis of correlated data using generalized estimating equations: an orientation.
The method of generalized estimating equations (GEE) is often used to analyze longitudinal and other correlated response data, particularly if responses are binary. However, few descriptions of the method are accessible to epidemiologists. In this paper, the authors use small worked examples and one real data set, involving both binary and quantitative response data, to help end-users appreciat...
متن کاملDoes 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...

For this reason , requirement of independence observation in longitudinal data is violated that causes this kind of data needs the specific statistical metho...
متن کاملIdentifying influential families using regression diagnostics for generalized estimating equations.
The Generalized Estimating Equations (GEE) is an approach to analyze correlated data. It is applied here to data from an epidemiological study of oesophageal cancer in a high incidence area in China to investigate familial aggregation. Regression diagnostics for mean structures and association structures are used to identify families that influence estimates of these structures. It is shown tha...
متن کاملModeling of vegetation index and land surface temperature to identify and compare the changing trends, using generalized estimating equations
Normalized difference vegetation index and land surface temperature data, in a sample plot each from east, center and west of Nepal, from 2000 to 2015, were analyzed to identify and compare the trends of vegetation and temperature changes during the period. The data were obtained from moderate resolutions imaging spectro-radiometer. Normalized difference vegetation index charactiszes a resoluti...
