چکیده

In many longitudinal studies, the response process is correlated with observation times and dropout. We propose a joint modeling for analysis of longitudinal data with informative observation times and dropout. We specify a semiparametric linear regression model for the longitudinal process, and accelerated time models for the observation and the dropout processes, while leaving the distributional form and dependent structure unspecified. Estimating equation approaches are developed for parameter estimation, and the resulting estimators are shown to be consistent and asymptotically normal. In addition, some numerical procedures are provided for model checking. The finite sample behavior of the proposed estimators is evaluated through simulation studies, and an application to a medical cost study of chronic heart failure patients from the University of Virginia Health System is provided.

A Semiparametric Marginalized Model for Longitudinal Data with Informative Dropout.

We propose a marginalized joint-modeling approach for marginal inference on the association between longitudinal responses and covariates when longitudinal measurements are subject to informative dropouts. The proposed model is motivated by the idea of linking longitudinal responses and dropout times by latent variables while focusing on marginal inferences. We develop a simple inference proced...

Bayesian geostatistical modeling with informative sampling locations

We consider geostatistical models that allow the locations at which data are collected to be informative about the outcomes. Diggle et al. [2009] refer to this problem as preferential sampling, though we use the term informative sampling to highlight the relationship with the longitudinal data literature on informative observation times. In the longitudinal setting, joint models of the observat...

Bayesian 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...

Joint modeling of multivariate longitudinal data and the dropout process in a competing risk setting: application to ICU data

BACKGROUND Joint modeling of longitudinal and survival data has been increasingly considered in clinical trials, notably in cancer and AIDS. In critically ill patients admitted to an intensive care unit (ICU), such models also appear to be of interest in the investigation of the effect of treatment on severity scores due to the likely association between the longitudinal score and the dropout p...

مدل‌سازی توام داده‌های بقا و طولی و کاربرد آن در بررسی عوامل موثر بر آسیب حاد کلیوی

Background: In many clinical trials and medical studies, the survival and longitudinal data are collected simultaneously. When these two outcomes are measured from each subject and the survival variable depends on a longitudinal biomarker, using joint modelling of survival and longitudinal outcomes is a proper choice for analyzing the available data. Methods: In this retrospective archiv...
