We explore the effects of measurement error in a time-varying covariate for a mixed model applied to a longitudinal study of plasma levels and dietary intake of beta-carotene. We derive a simple expression for the bias of large sample estimates of the variance of random effects in a longitudinal mod
Low-dimensional parametric models are well understood, straightforward to communicate to other workers, have very smooth curves and may easily be checked for consistency with background scienti"c knowledge or understanding. They should therefore be ideal tools with which to represent smooth relation
This paper explores the implications of measurement error in the analysis of compliance}response relationships in data from randomized trials. Given that compliance measures are rarely, if ever, error-free indicators of exposure it is argued that both the designs for the collection of compliance dat
