Efficient Semiparametric Marginal Estimation For Longitudinal/Clustered Data, Naisyin Wang, Raymond J. Carroll, Xihong Lin Sep 2003

Efficient Semiparametric Marginal Estimation For Longitudinal/Clustered Data, Naisyin Wang, Raymond J. Carroll, Xihong Lin

The University of Michigan Department of Biostatistics Working Paper Series

We consider marginal generalized semiparametric partially linear models for clustered data. Lin and Carroll (2001a) derived the semiparametric efficinet score funtion for this problem in the mulitvariate Gaussian case, but they were unable to contruct a semiparametric efficient estimator that actually achieved the semiparametric information bound. We propose such an estimator here and generalize the work to marginal generalized partially liner models. Asymptotic relative efficincies of the estimation or throughout are investigated. The finite sample performance of these estimators is evaluated through simulations and illustrated using a longtiudinal CD4 count data set. Both theoretical and numerical results indicate that properly …


Equivalent Kernels Of Smoothing Splines In Nonparametric Regression For Clustered/Longitudinal Data, Xihong Lin, Naisyin Wang, Alan H. Welsh, Raymond J. Carroll Sep 2003

Equivalent Kernels Of Smoothing Splines In Nonparametric Regression For Clustered/Longitudinal Data, Xihong Lin, Naisyin Wang, Alan H. Welsh, Raymond J. Carroll

The University of Michigan Department of Biostatistics Working Paper Series

We compare spline and kernel methods for clustered/longitudinal data. For independent data, it is well known that kernel methods and spline methods are essentially asymptotically equivalent (Silverman, 1984). However, the recent work of Welsh, et al. (2002) shows that the same is not true for clustered/longitudinal data. First, conventional kernel methods fail to account for the within- cluster correlation, while spline methods are able to account for this correlation. Second, kernel methods and spline methods were found to have different local behavior, with conventional kernels being local and splines being non-local. To resolve these differences, we show that a smoothing …


Histospline Method In Nonparametric Regression Models With Application To Clustered/Longitudinal Data, Raymond J. Carroll, Peter Hall, Tatiyana V. Apanasovich, Xihong Lin Sep 2003

Histospline Method In Nonparametric Regression Models With Application To Clustered/Longitudinal Data, Raymond J. Carroll, Peter Hall, Tatiyana V. Apanasovich, Xihong Lin

The University of Michigan Department of Biostatistics Working Paper Series

Kernel and smoothing methods for nonparametric function and curve estimation have been particularly successful in "standard" settings, where function values are observed subject to independent errors. However, when aspects of the function are known parametrically, or where the sampling scheme has significant structure, it can be quite difficult to adapt standard methods in such a way that they retain good statistical performance and continue to enjoy easy computability and good numerical properties. In particular, when using local linear modeling it is often awkward to both respect the sampling scheme and produce an estimator with good variance properties, without resorting to …

A Texture Evolution Model In Cubic-Orthotropic Polycrystalline System, Brent L. Adams, H. Garmestani, D. S. Li Sep 2003

A Texture Evolution Model In Cubic-Orthotropic Polycrystalline System, Brent L. Adams, H. Garmestani, D. S. Li

Faculty Publications

This work has been funded under the AFOSR Grant # F49620-03-1-0011 and Army Research Lab Contract # DAAD17-02-P-0398 and DAAD 19-01-1-0742. B.L. Adams acknowledges support of Army Research Office, Proposal No. 42566-MS. The authors express their sincere gratitude to Professor Surya Kalidindi, for helpful suggestions and correspondence for the derivation of the processing path functions. A new methodology based on a conservation principle in the orientation space is developed to simulate the texture evolution in a cubic-orthotropic polycrystalline system. A least squares error method was used to improve the accuracy of the simulation results obtained from the texture evolution function. …

Communities Of Practice And The Mediation Of Teachers’ Responses To Standards-Based Reform, Chrysan Gallucci Sep 2003

Communities Of Practice And The Mediation Of Teachers’ Responses To Standards-Based Reform, Chrysan Gallucci

Education Policy Analysis Archives (EPAA)

This paper evaluates the usefulness of a sociocultural approach for analyzing teachers’ responses to the professional learning demands of standards-based reform policies. A policy-oriented case study of the practice of six elementary teachers who worked in two high poverty schools in a demographically changing district in the state of Washington is summarized.


Direct Determination Of Kinetic Rates From Single-Molecule Photon Arrival Trajectories Using Hidden Markov Models, Michael Andrec, Ronald M. Levy, David Talaga Sep 2003

Direct Determination Of Kinetic Rates From Single-Molecule Photon Arrival Trajectories Using Hidden Markov Models, Michael Andrec, Ronald M. Levy, David Talaga

Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry Faculty Scholarship and Creative Works

The kinetic rates of single-molecule photon trajectories were determined using hidden Markov model (HMM). The data from single-molecule experiments were in the form of photon trajectories consisting of arrival times and wavelength information on individual photons. HMM was used as an alternative to higher-order correlation function analysis for the detection of conformational memory.

Planar Decomposition Of Graphs, Laura Sheppardson Sep 2003

Planar Decomposition Of Graphs, Laura Sheppardson

Combinatorics Seminar

We have fairly strong results on long paths and cycles in graphs which are planar, or embedded in low-genus surfaces. One way to find paths and cycles in more general graphs is to decompose them into planar subgraphs. We'll look at several different approaches to such a decomposition. Results already obtained by a standard surgery method will be presented, and the promise of other methods considered.

Constraining Elementary Teachers' Work: Dilemmas And Paradoxes Created By State Mandated Testing, Sandra Mathison, Melissa Freeman Sep 2003

Constraining Elementary Teachers' Work: Dilemmas And Paradoxes Created By State Mandated Testing, Sandra Mathison, Melissa Freeman

Education Policy Analysis Archives (EPAA)

There are frequent reports of the challenges to teacher professionalism associated with high stakes and mandated testing (McNeil, 2000). So, we were not surprised in this year-long study of two elementary schools in upstate New York to hear teachers talk about the many ways the 4th grade tests in English Language Arts, Mathematics and Science undermine their ability to do their jobs with integrity. ...
