Abstract:
|
The generalized score (GS) statistic is widely used to test hypotheses about mean model parameters in the generalized estimating equation (GEE) framework, but in a comparison of predictive values of diagnostic tests or any correlated proportions with unbalanced group sizes, GS has been shown neither to adequately control type I error nor to reduce to the score statistic under independence. Applying weights to the residuals in empirical variance estimation produces a weighted generalized score (WGS) statistic that has been shown to resolve these issues and is now used in the diagnostic testing literature. This talk discusses extensions of WGS to the more general problem of comparisons of correlated means with distributions and/or link functions other than binary and logit. Theoretical, simulated, and real data results are provided.
