Dynamic Mixed Models for Familial Longitudinal Data by Brajendra C Sutradhar

Dynamic Mixed Models for Familial Longitudinal Data by Brajendra C Sutradhar

Unlike the existing books, this book uses a class of auto-correlation structures to model the longitudinal correlations for the repeated discrete data that accommodates all possible Gaussian type auto-correlation models as special cases including the equi-correlation models.

“This is a great book on the combination of longitudinal and familial data in the framework of the generalized linear model… the book provides an extremely valuable description of complex models in a very logical and understandable way. I strongly recommend it to all researchers dealing with longitudinal familial data with the primary aim of estimating the mean structure by parametric regression models.” (Andreas Ziegler, Biometrical Journal, Vol. 56 (1), 2014)

“This book describes models that deal with discrete familial data. … The content is detailed and supported by up-to-date references, many of which are from the author himself, who is an expert in the field. The style is technical, making this book a useful reference for researchers in the area of quasi-likelihood estimation. … In addition, this book can also be used as a textbook for graduate courses or for statisticians interested in familial data.” (Vassilis G. S. Vasdekis, Mathematical Reviews, Issue 2012 c)
