Data acquisition varies by bat phonic group for 2 types of bat detectors when weatherproofed and paired in field settings

open access: yesWildlife Society Bulletin, 2015
Manufacturers of acoustic bat detectors use proprietary microphones with different frequency responses, sensitivities, and directionality. Researchers implement various waterproofing strategies to protect microphones from inclement weather. These factors

On Ill-Conditioned Generalized Estimating Equations and Toward Unified Biased Estimation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2000
I address the issue of ill-conditioned regressors within generalized estimating equations (GEEs). In such a setting, standard GEE approaches can have problems with: convergence, large coefficient variances, poor prediction, deflated power of tests, and ...

Efficiency evaluation of quadratic inference functions in the analysis of longitudinal medical data

open access: yesRussian Open Medical Journal, 2018
Background ― In medical research, longitudinal studies have important and functional roles. Generalized estimating equation (GEE) is used for the analysis of longitudinal and correlated data required to determine the correlation structure among responses.

The trend of direct medical costs and associated factors in patients with chronic hepatitis B in Guangzhou, China: an eight-year retrospective cohort study

open access: yesBMC Medical Informatics and Decision Making, 2021
Background Although the expenses of liver cirrhosis are covered by a critical illness fund under the current health insurance program in China, the medical costs associated with hepatitis B virus (HBV) related diseases is not well addressed.

Generalized Estimating Equations

open access: yesMethods of Information in Medicine, 2010
Summary Background: Generalized estimating equations (GEE) are an extension of generalized linear models (GLM) in that they allow adjusting for correlations between observations. A major strength of GEE is that they do not require the correct specification of the multivariate distribution but only of the mean structure.

Additive Extensions to Generalized Estimating Equation Methods

open access: yesJournal of the Royal Statistical Society Series B: Statistical Methodology, 1996
SUMMARY The methods underlying vector generalized additive models are extended to provide additive extensions to the generalized estimating equations approaches to multivariate regression problems of Liang and Zeger and the subsequent literature.

Techniques for Estimating Flood-Frequency Discharges for Streams in Iowa, HR-395A, 2001 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
A statewide study was conducted to develop regression equations for estimating flood-frequency discharges for ungaged stream sites in Iowa. Thirty-eight selected basin characteristics were quantified and flood-frequency analyses were computed for ...

Analysis of binary spatial data by quasi-likelihood estimating equations

open access: yes, 2005
The goal of this paper is to describe the application of quasi-likelihood estimating equations for spatially correlated binary data. In this paper, a logistic function is used to model the marginal probability of binary responses in terms of parameters ...

Longitudinal data methods for evaluating genome-by-epigenome interactions in families

open access: yesBMC Genetics, 2018
Background Longitudinal measurement is commonly employed in health research and provides numerous benefits for understanding disease and trait progression over time. More broadly, it allows for proper treatment of correlated responses within clusters. We
