Education
In general, we posit that any lack of fit can be better addressed by modeling what is left over. How well is that fit of the mean in modeling the binary data is measured by the unexplained variation. However, the fit can be improved by modelling the unexplained variation. One improvement from the mean modeling is usually done by the joint modeling of the mean and dispersion. We present the extension of the joint modeling of mean (first moment), dispersion (second moment), and kurtosis (fourth moment) to provide a better fit of the data. While we do not expect to completely address all of the variation, we show that this third sub model provides a better fit. The two approaches (mean and dispersion) and (mean, dispersion and kurtosis) are compared. A simulation study will provide a comparison of the two approaches.
In the analysis of repeated measures data, in addition to the inherent correlation due to the repeated responses we have covariates that change over time. The fact that for one reason or another the covariates change leads to the identification of moments necessary to obtain estimates of the regression coefficients. Moreover, these time–dependent covariates lead to feedback that may be necessary to model the mean.
These models are applied to data obtained from the Bangladesh and Mozambique national database as well as Arizona Alzheimer’s research Consortium at Arizona State University.
