By gathering results scattered throughout the literature, \u003cstrong\u003eAntedependence Models for Longitudinal Data\u003c\/strong\u003e offers a convenient, systematic way to learn about antedependence models. Illustrated with numerous examples, the book also covers some important statistical inference procedures associated with these models.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter describing unstructured and structured antedependence models and their properties, the authors discuss informal model identification via simple summary statistics and graphical methods. They then present formal likelihood-based procedures for normal antedependence models, including maximum likelihood and residual maximum likelihood estimation of parameters as well as likelihood ratio tests and penalized likelihood model selection criteria for the model's covariance structure and mean structure. The authors also compare the performance of antedependence models to other models commonly used for longitudinal data.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith this book, readers no longer have to search across widely scattered journal articles on the subject. The book provides a thorough treatment of the properties and statistical inference procedures of various antedependence models. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Dale L.
