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 generalized estimating equations approach. A real life data set is applied to illustrate the core features of the package, and sample R code snippets are provided. It is shown that the multivariate marginal models considered in this paper and mmm are valid for binary, continuous and count multivariate longitudinal responses. (c) 2013 Elsevier Ireland Ltd.

CMARS: a new contribution to nonparametric regression with multivariate adaptive regression splines supported by continuous optimization Weber, Gerhard-Wilhelm; Batmaz, İnci; Köksal, Gülser; Taylan, Pakize; Yerlikaya-Ozkurt, Fatma (2012-01-01) Regression analysis is a widely used statistical method for modelling relationships between variables. Multivariate adaptive regression splines (MARS) especially is very useful for high-dimensional problems and fitting nonlinear multivariate functions. A special advantage of MARS lies in its ability to estimate contributions of some basis functions so that both additive and interactive effects of the predictors are allowed to determine the response variable. The MARS method consists of two parts: forward an...
Uncertainty models for vector based functional curves and assessing the reliability of G-Band Kurtar, Ahmet Kürşat; Düzgün, H. Şebnem; Department of Geodetic and Geographical Information Technologies (2006) This study is about uncertainty medelling for vector features in geographic information systems (GIS). It has mainly two objectives which are about the band models used for uncertainty modelling . The first one is the assessment of accuracy of GBand model, which is the latest and the most complex uncertainty handling model for vector features. Some simulations and tests are applied to test the reliability of accuracy of G-Band with comparing Chrisman’s epsilon band model, which is the most frequently used b...
Mask Combination of Multi-Layer Graphs for Global Structure Inference Bayram, Eda; Thanou, Dorina; Vural, Elif; Frossard, Pascal (2020-01-01) Structure inference is an important task for network data processing and analysis in data science. In recent years, quite a few approaches have been developed to learn the graph structure underlying a set of observations captured in a data space. Although real-world data is often acquired in settings where relationships are influenced by a priori known rules, such domain knowledge is still not well exploited in structure inference problems. In this paper, we identify the structure of signals defined in a da...
Flexible multivariate marginal models for analyzing multivariate longitudinal data, with applications in R Asar, Oezguer; İlk Dağ, Özlem (2014-07-01) 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 Ke...
Outlier Detection and Quasi-periodicity Optimization Algorithm: Frequency Domain Based Outlier Detection (FOD) Erkuş, Ekin Can; Purutçuoğlu Gazi, Vilda (2020-01-01) Outlier detection is one of the main challenges in the pre-processing stage of data analyses. In this study, we suggest a new non-parametric outlier detection technique which is based on the frequency-domain and Fourier Transform definitions and call it as the frequency-domain based outlier detection (FOD). From simulation results under various distributions and real data applications, we observe that our proposal approach is capable of detecting quasi-periodic outliers in time series data more successfully...
