About this title

Synopsis

This monograph extends previous work on the evaluation of GEE performance in parameter estimation with correlation structure misspecification. It examines a new structure to model the correlation between binary responses observed over unequal time intervals. The proposed unequal-time correlation structure accounts for unequal intervals by fixing the correlation coefficient and interval length between the first 2 observations and by adjusting the correlations for subsequent pairs by their relative interval length. To evaluate this structure, correlated binary responses under the logistic model were generated with the unequal time correlation structure for a full range of positive correlations and strength of association under different scenarios of number of measurements, sample size and prevalence of exposure. The model was evaluated when the working correlation structure was misspecified as exchangeable, 1st order autoregressive, unstructured, or when alternating logistic regression was employed.

Store Description

**Please note our transit times are from the date of dispatch.** We first started out as ?The Paperback Exchange,? a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become ?PBShop.? This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first purchase with us, or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book. We are a company who put our customers at the centre of everything we do as we understand the importance of reading because once you learn to read, you will forever be free. There are a whole lot of things in this world of ours that we are yet to explore, which is why we will forever inspire curious minds.
