Multiple Continuous Outcomes
نویسندگان
چکیده
Multiple outcomes are often used to properly characterize an effect of interest. This paper proposes a latent variable model for the situation where repeated measures over time are obtained on each outcome. These outcomes are assumed to measure an underlying quantity of main interest from different perspectives. We relate the observed outcomes using regression models to a latent variable, which is then modeled as a function of covariates by a separate regression model. Random effects are used to model the correlation due to repeated measures of the observed outcomes and the latent variable. An EM algorithm is developed to obtain maximum likelihood estimates of model parameters. Unit-specific predictions of the latent variables are also calculated. This method is illustrated using data from a national panel study on changes in methadone treatment practices.

متن کاملBayesian Sample Size Determination for Joint Modeling of Longitudinal Measurements and Survival Data
A longitudinal study refers to collection of a response variable and possibly some explanatory variables at multiple follow-up times. In many clinical studies with longitudinal measurements, the response variable, for each patient is collected as long as an event of interest, which considered as clinical end point, occurs. Joint modeling of continuous longitudinal measurements and survival time...

Pnm-24: Neonatal Outcomes in Assisted Reproductive Technology Pregnancies
Background Preterm birth is the most important factor in neonatal morbidity and mortality. In the case of pregnancy with assisted reproductive technology (ART) we have more percentage of multiple pregnancies which is a strong reason for preterm birth and low birth weight so suggested that ART can affect neonatal outcomes. In this article we searched about neonatal outcomes in ART pregnancies. M...
