Latent Markov model for longitudinal binary data: An application to the performance evaluation of nursing homes [PDF]
Annals of Applied Statistics 2009, Vol. 3, No. 2, 611-636, 2009 Performance evaluation of nursing homes is usually accomplished by the repeated administration of questionnaires aimed at measuring the health status of the patients during their period of residence in the nursing home. We illustrate how a latent Markov model with covariates may effectively be used for the analysis of data collected in this way.

Extending inferences from a cluster randomized trial to a target population [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 We describe methods that extend (generalize or transport) causal inferences from cluster randomized trials to a target population of clusters, under a general nonparametric model that allows for arbitrary within-cluster dependence. We propose doubly robust estimators of potential outcome means in the target population that exploit individual-level data
