Questions tagged [generalized-estimating-equations]
Stands for Generalized Estimating Equations which is an approach to estimating regression coefficients. GEE can be used on clustered / longitudinal data and has the attractive property that it provides consistent estimators of regression coefficients and unbiased inference even when the association structure within a cluster is mis-specified.

Clarification on a GEE model including time-varying covariates
I was wondering if GEE method can work with time varying covariates? I have a longitudinal study which include time dependent covariates and I am not sure wether I can still use GEE model or not
Based ...

Is the GEE model an appropriate approach for this study?
I have the following data structure (longitudinal data). Over a period of several months, multiple tests (such as a vocabulary exam, a game exam, and a math exam) are administered to assess brain ...

How to derive GEE from GLM?
I am now reading the lecture note from:
https://dept.stat.lsa.umich.edu/~kshedden/Courses/Regression_Notes/gee.pdf
Why do we have $V_{i}^{-1}(y_{i}-\mu_{i})$? I cannot link the last equation on page ...

Is it valid to use "withdrew from study" in a mixed model to help with dropout bias in longitudinal data?
Consider the hypothetical dataset where a number of study participants have no change over time in a particular outcome, but their probability to drop out of the study is related to the baseline value ...

Using GEE models without clustered data
I am studying a set of longitudinal data with an N-of-1 approach. This means studying each patient in the data separately. I know there is correlation in my response variable and I am looking to use ...

Logistic regression with complete separation AND repeated measures
Consider a typical logistic regression on data with a binary response $Y$, and some predictor variables $X$'s.
I understand that when the event is rare, or in the case of complete separation, one ...

Does GEE (Generalized Estimating Equations) need normality of residuals for inference in case of "approx. Gaussian" response?
A quick question. My intention is to analyze some numerical data across several categories (treat this as ANOVA, if you wish, but I'm going to focus on simple effects) that are "just numeric"...
