Modeling time‐varying effects with generalized and unsynchronized longitudinal data
Modeling time‐varying effects with generalized and unsynchronized longitudinal data
We propose novel estimation approaches for generalized varying coefficient models that are tailored for unsynchronized, irregular and infrequent longitudinal designs/data. Unsynchronized longitudinal data refer to the time‐dependent response and covariate measurements for each individual measured at distinct time points. Data from the Comprehensive Dialysis Study motivate the proposed methods. We …
