‘semiparametric Gee Analysis in Partially Linear Single-index Models for Longitudinal Data’

چکیده
In this article, we study a partially linear single-index model for longitudinal data under a general framework which includes both the sparse and dense longitudinal data cases. A semiparametric estimation method based on the combination of the local linear smoothing and generalized estimation equations (GEE) is introduced to estimate the two parameter vectors as well as the unknown link function. Under some mild conditions, we derive the asymptotic properties of the proposed parametric and nonparametric estimators in different scenarios, from which we find that the convergence rates and asymptotic variances of the proposed estimators for sparse longitudinal data would be substantially different from those for dense longitudinal data. We also discuss the estimation of the covariance (or weight) matrices involved in the semiparametric GEE method. Furthermore, we provide some numerical studies to illustrate our methodology and theory.

Efficient Estimation in Marginal Partially Linear Models for Longitudinal/Clustered Data Using Splines
We consider marginal semiparametric partially linear models for longitudinal/clustered data and propose an estimation procedure based on a spline approximation of the nonparametric part of the model and an extension of the parametric marginal generalized estimating equations (GEE). Our estimates of both parametric part and nonparametric part of the model have properties parallel to those of par...

We consider efficient estimation of the Euclidean parameters in a generalized partially linear additive models for longitudinal/clustered data when multiple covariates need to be modeled nonparametrically, and propose an estimation procedure based on a spline approximation of the nonparametric part of the model and the generalized estimating equations (GEE). Although the model in consideration ...
متن کاملA Pairwise Likelihood Method for Correlated Binary Data With/without Missing Observations under Generalized Partially Linear Single-index Models
Correlated data, such as multivariate or clustered data, arise commonly in practice. Unlike analysis for independent data, valid inference based on such data often requires proper accommodation of complex association structures among response components within clusters. Semiparametric models based on generalized estimating equations (GEE) methods, and their extensions, have become increasingly ...

We calculate semiparametric efficiency bounds for a partially linear single-index model using a simple method developed by [1]. We show that this model can be used to evaluate the efficiency of several existing estimators.
متن کاملEfficient Estimation in Partially Linear Single-Index Models for Longitudinal Data
In this paper, we consider the estimation of both the parameters and the nonparametric link function in partially linear single-index models for longitudinal data which may be unbalanced. In particular, a new three-stage approach is proposed to estimate the nonparametric link function using marginal kernel regression and the parametric components with generalized estimating equations. The resul...
