Abstract
Observations are frequently generated in clinical trials from correlated multiple organs (or parts) of individuals. The statistical inference is little about conducting regression analysis based on such data. This paper first develops a logistic regression for correlated multiple responses using a stable correlation binomial (SCB) model. Then, we obtain maximum likelihood estimators (MLEs) of unknown parameters through a fast quadratic lower bound (QLB) algorithm. Further, likelihood ratio, score and Wald statistics are used to test the effect of covariates based on the MLEs. Finally, the QLB algorithm and asymptotic tests are evaluated through simulations and applied to real dental data.
期刊介绍:
Statistics & Probability Letters adopts a novel and highly innovative approach to the publication of research findings in statistics and probability. It features concise articles, rapid publication and broad coverage of the statistics and probability literature.
Statistics & Probability Letters is a refereed journal. Articles will be limited to six journal pages (13 double-space typed pages) including references and figures. Apart from the six-page limitation, originality, quality and clarity will be the criteria for choosing the material to be published in Statistics & Probability Letters. Every attempt will be made to provide the first review of a submitted manuscript within three months of submission.
The proliferation of literature and long publication delays have made it difficult for researchers and practitioners to keep up with new developments outside of, or even within, their specialization. The aim of Statistics & Probability Letters is to help to alleviate this problem. Concise communications (letters) allow readers to quickly and easily digest large amounts of material and to stay up-to-date with developments in all areas of statistics and probability.
The mainstream of Letters will focus on new statistical methods, theoretical results, and innovative applications of statistics and probability to other scientific disciplines. Key results and central ideas must be presented in a clear and concise manner. These results may be part of a larger study that the author will submit at a later time as a full length paper to SPL or to another journal. Theory and methodology may be published with proofs omitted, or only sketched, but only if sufficient support material is provided so that the findings can be verified. Empirical and computational results that are of significant value will be published.
