Prediction and creation of smooth curves for temporally correlated longitudinal data
, Journal of the American Statistical Association, Vol: 90, Pages: 984-989, ISSN: 0162-1459This article presents a method of obtaining smoothed curves for a sample of individuals that permits an arbitrary number and spacing of observations for each individual. We consider the case where each individual’s curve cannot be separately estimated because either the n<inf>i</inf>’s are too small or no suitable parametric forms for the random effects are available. The model assumes a parametric form for the population mean curve and the correlation of the repeated measures. The assumed correlation structure is evaluated using the empirical semivariogram, a function of the sum of the squared differences of within-individual residuals. A method is proposed to validate the form and stationarity of the correlation structure. Maximum likelihood estimates for the population mean parameters and variance components are obtained simultaneously. These estimates may be used to create a semiparametric differentiable curve and to predict future values for each individual using a method called kriging. This method also yields instantaneous estimates of growth velocity. An example of this method is presented, and connections to kriging are discussed. © 1995 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.

19 Regression analysis of spatially correlated data: The kanawha county health study
We describe a linear regression model for a spatially correlated dependent variable when a covariate is also spatially correlated and measured with error. Maximum likelihood estimates and likelihood-based confidence intervals for the regression parameters of the linear model are obtained and the method is extended to logistic regression analysis of grouped binomial data by methods analogous to empirical logistic regression. When the independent variable is spatially correlated, the measurement error variance and the other parameters of the regression model can be estimated without additional assumptions or data. The methods are used to characterize the association between outdoor concentrations of volatile organic compounds and respiratory health of school-children attending 73 elementary schools in Kanawha County, West Virginia. Results are compared to those from two-stage estimation procedures in which the dependent variable is regressed on the expectation of the true covariate conditional on the observed covariate values. © 1994 Elsevier Science B.V.
