Abstract:
|
In longitudinal medical studies, it is important to jointly track multivariate risk factors and understand their interdependence structure. We propose to use multivariate copula models to link individual marginal outcome variables, where each marginal distribution may change with time and other covariates. Different copula models are explored and compared by goodness-of-fit tests. An application to a large epidemiological study of childhood cardiovascular risk factors is presented using the proposed approach with multivariate copula.
