题目：Regression analysis of longitudinal data with omitted asynchronous longitudinal covariate

报告人：Dr. CAO Hongyuan （University of Missouri-Columbia）

摘要：Long term follow-up with longitudinal data is common in many medical investigations. In such studies, some longitudinal covariate can be omitted for various reasons. Na?ve approach that simply ignores the omitted longitudinal covariate can lead to biased estimators. In this article, we propose new unbiased estimation methods to accommodate omitted longitudinal covariate. In addition, if the omitted longitudinal covariate is asynchronous with the longitudinal response, a two stage approach is proposed for valid statistical inference. Asymptotic properties of the proposed estimators are established. Extensive simulation studies provide numerical support for the theoretical findings. We illustrate the performance of our method on dataset from an HIV study.
