Abstract:

Analyzing longitudinal data calls for modeling both the correlation inherent from the repeated measures of the responses as well as the correlation realized on account of the feedback created between the responses at a particular time and the predictors at other times. A generalized method of moments (GMM) for estimating the coefficients in longitudinal data with correct classification of time-dependent covariates provides substantial gains in efficiency over generalized estimating equations (GEE) with the independent working correlation. We provide a comparative study of binary GMM models with different methods of classification of time-dependent covariates as well as looking at the GEE approach. We fit the GMM model using SAS IML while classifying using SAS and methods presented by Lai and Small but modified for binary data.
