Abstract:

The parameters of a bivariate Bernoulli density with canonical parameterization have forms which have nice interpretations - one for logit function and the other for log odds ratio. Usually, log odds ratio is estimated as a constant, but here special attention is on estimating the log odds ratio as a smooth function of covariates. Not only logit function but also log odds ratio function will be estimated in a very flexible way by using smoothing spline ANOVA model. This will reveal interesting behavior of log odds ratio function. The large sample behavior of the estimator will be investigated. This formulation will be utilized for assessing familial aggregation of a disease.
