Abstract

This chapter reviews the analysis of correlated responses with time-dependent covariates. An alternate means of detecting the valid moments as a unit rather than as a group is explored. The alternative method uses a technique of identifying the valid moments one at a time. The fit of marginal models is described. In summary, these models:

  1. (a)

    makes use of the valid moment conditions available;

  2. (b)

    does not assume that impact of a covariate on a response remains constant at times; and

  3. (c)

    does not assume that impact of covariates on the response, if significant, occurs at the same degree.
