In this paper, we propose a robust empirical likelihood (REL) inference for the parametric component in a generalized partial linear model (GPLM) with longitudinal data. We make use of bounded scores and leverage-based weights in the auxiliary random vectors to achieve robustness against...

In this paper, we focus on single-index models for longitudinal data. We propose a procedure to estimate the single-index component and the unknown link function based on the combination of the penalized splines and quadratic inference functions. It is shown that the proposed estimation method...
