Feedback Models for Discrete and Continuous Time Series

Liang, Kung-Yee; Zeger, Scott L. - 1991

In public health research, it is common to follow a cohort of subjects over time, observing a vector of health indicators and a set of covariates at each of many visits. An objective of analysis is to characterize the inter-dependencies, in particular, the feedback of one response upon another...

Marginalized Multilevel Models and Likelihood Inference

Zeger, Scott L.; Heagerty, Patrick J. - 2000

Hierarchical or "multilevel" regression models typically parameterize the mean response conditional on unobserved latent variables or "random" effects and then make simple assumptions regarding their distribution. The interpretation of a regression parameter in such a model is the change in...

Measuring overlap in logistic regression

Christmann, Andreas; Rousseeuw, Peter J. - 1999

In this paper we show that the recent notion of regression depth can be used as a data-analytic tool to measure the amount of separation between successes and failures in the binary response framework. Extending this algorithm allows us to compute the overlap in data sets which are commonly...

Two statistical problems related to credit scoring / Tanja de la Rey.

De la Rey, Tanja - 2007

This thesis focuses on two statistical problems related to credit scoring. In credit scoring of individuals, two classes are distinguished, namely low and high risk individuals (the so-called "good" and "bad" risk classes). Firstly, we suggest a measure which may be used to study the nature of a...
