Most of the available multivariate statistical models dictate on fitting different parameters for the covariate effects on each multiple responses. This might be unnecessary and inefficient for some cases. In this article, we propose a modelling framework for multivariate marginal models to analyze multivariate longitudinal data which provides flexible model building strategies. We show that the model handles several response families such as binomial, count and continuous. We illustrate the model on the Kenya Morbidity data set. A simulation study is conducted to examine the parameter estimates. An R package mmm2 is proposed to fit the model. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.

mmm: An R package for analyzing multivariate longitudinal data with multivariate marginal models
Asar, Oezguer; İlk Dağ, Özlem (2013-12-01)
Modeling multivariate longitudinal data has many challenges in terms of both statistical and computational aspects. Statistical challenges occur due to complex dependence structures. Computational challenges are due to the complex algorithms, the use of numerical methods, and potential convergence problems. Therefore, there is a lack of software for such data. This paper introduces an R package mmm prepared for marginal modeling of multivariate longitudinal data. Parameter estimations are achieved by genera...
On the Cramér-Rao lower bound under model mismatch
Fritsche, Carsten; Orguner, Umut; Özkan, Emre; Gustafsson, Fredrik (2014-04-24)
Cram´er-Rao lower bounds (CRLBs) are proposed for deterministic parameter estimation under model mismatch conditions where the assumed data model used in the design of the estimators differs from the true data model. The proposed CRLBs are defined for the family of estimators that may have a specified bias (gradient) with respect to the assumed model. The resulting CRLBs are calculated for a linear Gaussian measurement model and compared to the performance of the maximum likelihood estimator for the corresp...
Algorithm Overview and Design for Mixed Effects Models
Koca, Burcu; Gökalp Yavuz, Fulya (2021-06-06)
Linear Mixed Model (LMM) is an extended regression method that is used for longitudinal data which has repeated measures within the individual. It is natural to expect high correlation between these repeats over a period of time for the same individual. Since classical approaches may fail to cover these correlations, LMM handles this significant concern by introducing random effect terms in the model. Besides its flexible structure in terms of modeling, LMM has several application areas such as clinical tri...
A probabilistic approach to multi criteria sorting problem
Buğdacı, Aslı Gül; Köksalan, Murat; Department of Industrial Engineering (2009)
We aim to classify alternatives evaluated in multiple criteria among preference ordered classes assuming an underlying additive utility function. We develop a probabilistic classification method by calculating the probability of an alternative being in each class. We assign alternatives to classes based on threshold probabilities. We require the decision maker to place an alternative to a class when no alternatives satisfy the required thresholds. We find new probabilities for unassigned alternatives in the...
A Mathematical Programming Approach for Multiple Criteria Sorting Problems
Civelek, Merve; Karasakal, Esra (2019-06-16)
Multiple criteria sorting problem is to assign alternatives, evaluated according to multiple criteria, into predefined preference ordered classes. In this study, a new distance metric based sorting method is developed to solve multiple criteria sorting problems. The aim of the proposed method is to assign each alternative to one class or a set of possible adjacent classes. In the proposed method, centroids of the classes are estimated using sample preference set provided by the decision maker. Distance to t...
