Spline-based sieve semiparametric generalized estimating equation for panel count data
In this thesis, we propose to analyze panel count data using a spline-based sieve generalized estimating equation method with a semiparametric proportional mean model E(N(t)|Z) = Λ0(t) eβT0Z. The natural log of the baseline mean function, logΛ0(t), is approximated by a monotone cubic B-spline functi...
