Abstract:For the regression model about longitudinal data, we combine the robust estimation equation with the elemental empirical likelihood method, and propose an efficient robust estimator, where the robust estimation equation is based on bounded scoring function and the covariate depended weight function. This method reduces the influence of outliers in response variables and covariates on parameter estimation, takes into account the correlation between data, and improves the efficiency of estimation. The simulation… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
