Empirical Likelihood and General Estimating Equations [PDF]
For some time, so-called empirical likelihoods have been used heuristically for purposes of nonparametric estimation. Owen showed that empirical likelihood ratio statistics for various parameters $\theta(F)$ of an unknown distribution $F$ have limiting chi-square distributions and may be used to obtain tests or confidence intervals in a way that is ...

In the longitudinal data analysis we integrate flexible linear predictor link function and high-correlated predictor variables. Our approach uses B-splines for non-parametric part in the linear predictor component.

Flexible generalized varying coefficient regression models [PDF]
This paper studies a very flexible model that can be used widely to analyze the relation between a response and multiple covariates. The model is nonparametric, yet renders easy interpretation for the effects of the covariates.

Bootstrap Confidence Intervals For Local Likelihood, Local Estimating Equations And Varying Coefficient Models [PDF]
Four powerful generalizations of the usual local polynomial nonparametric regression methodology are (a) local polynomial methods in generalized linear models; (b) varying coefficient generalized linear models, where the possibly multivariate ...

Factors associated with mortality from tuberculosis in Iran: an application of a generalized estimating equation-based zero-inflated negative binomial model to national registry data [PDF]
OBJECTIVES Tuberculosis (TB) is a global public health problem that causes morbidity and mortality in millions of people per year. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship of potential risk factors with TB mortality in Iran. METHODS This

Generalized fractional differential equations for past dynamic
Well-posedness of the terminal value problem for nonlinear systems of generalized fractional differential equations is studied. The generalized fractional operator is formulated with a classical operator and a related weighted space.

On generalised estimating equations for vector regression [PDF]
Generalized estimating equations (GEE; Liang & Zeger 1986) for general vector regression settings are examined. When the response vectors are of mixed type (e.g. continuous-binary response pairs), the GEE approach is a semiparametric alternative to full-likelihood copula methods, and is closely related to the mean-covariance estimation equations ...
