SAS Macro for Generalized Method of Moments Estimation for Longitudinal Data with Time-Dependent Covariates
نویسندگان
چکیده
Longitudinal data with time-dependent covariates is not readily analyzed as there are inherent, complex correlations due to the repeated measurements on the sampling unit and the feedback process between the covariates in one time period and the response in another. A generalized method of moments (GMM) logistic regression model (Lalonde, Wilson, and Yin 2014) is one method to analyze such correlated binary data. While GMM can account for the correlation due to both of these factors, it is imperative to identify the appropriate estimating equations in the model. Cai and Wilson (2015) developed a SAS macro using SAS/IML to fit GMM logistic regression models with extended classifications. In this paper we expand the use of this macro to allow for continuous responses and as many repeated time points and predictors as possible. We demonstrate the use of the macro through two examples, one with binary response and another with continuous response.

How to Use SAS for GMM Logistic Regression Models for Longitudinal Data with Time-Dependent Covariates
In longitudinal data, it is important to account for the correlation due to repeated measures and timedependent covariates. Generalized method of moments can be used to estimate the coefficients in longitudinal data, although there are currently limited procedures in SAS ® to produce GMM estimates for correlated data. In a recent paper, Lalonde, Wilson, and Yin provided a GMM model for estimati...

Background and Aim: In many medical studies along with longitudinal data, which are repeatedly measured during a certain time period, survival data are also recorded. In these situations, using models such as, mixed effects models or GEE method for longitudinal data and Cox model for survival data, are not appropriate because some necessary assumptions are not met. Instead, the joint models hav...

%QLS SAS® Macro: A SAS Macro for Analysis of Longitudinal Data Using Quasi- Least Squares
Quasi-least squares (QLS) is an alternative computational approach for estimation of the correlation parameter in the framework of generalized estimating equations (GEE). QLS allows for easier implementation of some correlation structures that are not available for GEE. We describe a user-written SAS® macro called %QLS, and demonstrate application of our macro using a clinical trial example for...
