β¦ Synopsis
In this paper we consider a suitable scale adjustment of the estimating function which deΓΏnes a class of robust M-estimators for generalized linear models. This leads to a robust version of the quasi-proΓΏle loglikelihood which allows us to derive robust likelihood ratio type tests for inference and model selection having the standard asymptotic behaviour. An application to logistic regression is discussed.

To date, computer-intensive non-parametric modelling procedures such as classiΓΏcation and regression trees (CART) and multivariate adaptive regression splines (MARS) have rarely been used in the analysis of epidemiological studies. Most published studies focus on techniques such as logistic regressi
## Abstract The authors consider a semiparametric partially linear regression model with serially correlated errors. They propose a new way of estimating the error structure which has the advantage that it does not involve any nonparametric estimation. This allows them to develop an inference proce
Regressive models are extended to disease phenotypes with two or more affection classes through the use of polychotomous logistic regression. The classes of affection may be ordered (ranked as on a liability continuum), or unordered. Data on affective disorders are used for illustration.
