Dispersion models provide a #exible class of non-normal distributions with many potential applications in biostatistics, accommodating a wide range of continuous, discrete and mixed data. Starting with Liang and Zeger's generalized estimating equation method, we review some recent applications of di

This paper describes robust procedures for estimating parameters of a mixed e!ects linear model as applied to longitudinal data. In addition to "xed regression parameters, the model incorporates random subject e!ects to accommodate between-subjects variability and autocorrelation for within-subject
The generalized estimation equation (GEE) method, one of the generalized linear models for longitudinal data, has been used widely in medical research. However, the related sensitivity analysis problem has not been explored intensively. One of the possible reasons for this was due to the correlated
Non-stationary covariance structures had not been analyzed in detail for longitudinal data mainly because the existing applications did not require their use. Data from the Iowa Cochlear Implant Project showed this type of structure and the problem needed to be addressed. We propose a linear model f
