Panel data, also known as longitudinal data, are composed of repeated measurements taken from the same subject over different time points. Although it is generally used in time series applications, forecasting can also be used in panel data due to its time dimension. However, there is limited number of studies in this area in the literature. In this thesis, forecasting is studied for panel data with binary response because of its increasing importance and increasing fundamental roles. A simulation study is held to compare the efficiency of different methods and to find the one that gives the optimal forecast values. In this simulation, 21 different methods, including naïve and complex ones, are used by the help of R software. It is concluded that transition models and random effects models with no lag of response can be chosen for getting the most accurate forecasts, especially for the first two years of forecasting.

Evaluation of Signaling Cascades Based on the Weights from Microarray and ChIP-seq Data
Isik, Zerrin; Atalay, Mehmet Volkan; Atalay, Rengül (2009-09-06)
In this study, we combined the ChIP-seq and the transcriptome data and integrated these data into signaling cascades. Integration was realized through a framework based on data- and model-driven hybrid approach. An enrichment model was constructed to evaluate signaling cascades which resulted in specific cellular processes. We used ChIP-seq and microarray data from public databases which were obtained from HeLa cells under oxidative stress having similar experimental setups. Both ChIP-seq and array data wer...
Overconfidence and bubbles in experimental asset markets
Şahin, Serkan; Küçükkaya, Halit Engin; Yılmaz, Özlem; Department of Business Administration (2013)
The aim of this study is to investigate uncertainty levels of industries and explore those financial ratios that have the highest information content in determining the set of industry characteristics and use the most informative ratios selected in developing industry specific financial distress models. First, we employ factor analysis to determine the set of ratios that are most informative in specified industries. Second, we use entropy method as a Multiple Attribute Decision Making Model, to measure the ...
Implementation of different algorithms in linear mixed models: case studies with TIMSS
Koca, Burcu; Gökalp Yavuz, Fulya; Department of Statistics (2021-9-06)
Mixed models are frequently used in longitudinal data types with time repetition over the same subject and clustered data types formed by observations gathered around certain groups. The modeling technique which models the dependency structure between repetitions and observations in the same cluster is required to use algorithms for parameter estimations. The same model can be solved with various algorithms arising from setup, inference and approach differences. In this study, several algorithms used for LM...
On multivariate longitudinal binary data models and thiir applications in forecasting
Asar, Özgür; İlk Dağ, Özlem; Department of Statistics (2012)
Longitudinal data arise when subjects are followed over time. This type of data is typically dependent, due to including repeated observations and this type of dependence is termed as within-subject dependence. Often the scientific interest is on multiple longitudinal measurements which introduce two additional types of associations, between-response and cross-response temporal dependencies. Only the statistical methods which take these association structures might yield reliable and valid statistical infer...
A simulation study on the comparison of methods for the analysis of longitudinal count data
İnan, Gül; İlk Dağ, Özlem; Department of Statistics (2009)
The longitudinal feature of measurements and counting process of responses motivate the regression models for longitudinal count data (LCD) to take into account the phenomenons such as within-subject association and overdispersion. One common problem in longitudinal studies is the missing data problem, which adds additional difficulties into the analysis. The missingness can be handled with missing data techniques. However, the amount of missingness in the data and the missingness mechanism that the data ha...
