Summary: | In this paper, we propose a family of correlation structures for crossover designs with
repeated measures for both, Gaussian and non-Gaussian responses using generalized
estimating equations (GEE). The structure considers two matrices: one that models
between-period correlation and another one that models within-period correlation.
The overall correlation matrix, which is used to build the GEE, corresponds to the
Kronecker between these matrices. A procedure to estimate the parameters of the correlation matrix is proposed, its statistical properties are studied and a comparison
with standard models using a single correlation matrix is carried out. A simulation study showed a superior performance of the proposed structure in terms of the
quasi-likelihood criterion, efficiency, and the capacity to explain complex correlation
phenomena patterns in longitudinal data from crossover designs. |
