[R-sig-ME] Multiple binary responses per ID and time

[Lize van der merwe]

Thank you for the quick response, Thierry.

Yes, unfortunately the response n_it_j does not equal the predictor n_it_j.

I will go the INLA route. 

Thanks again

Lize

Dear Lize,

 

So the response for individual i at time i is (x_it, n_it). Does the predictor has the same amount of trials as the responses (y_it, n_it)? If so, do you have information on the n_it Bernouilli trials of both the response and the predictor? If that is the case then you can model the individual Bernoulli trials.

 

If you don't have the information at that detail, then you have to turn the binomial predictor into a proportion. With a Bayesian hierarchical model you can first model the predictor and then uses this modelled proportion as a predictor for the response. There is an example in the INLA FAQ: http://www.r-inla.org/faq#TOC-Can-I-have-the-linear-predictor-from-one-model-as-a-covariate-in-a-different-model-

 

Best regards,

 

Thierry

Dear List,

Please advise.    I cannot get my head around modelling this data.

Study involves 200 individuals with several (not always the same number)
dichotomous outcomes, at 10 different times.  The predictor also has several
(not the same as each other, nor the same as what the individal has at that
time-point) dichotomous outcomes for the same individuals at the the same
timepoints.  There are time-level covariates and also individual level
covariates to include.

How do I model these?   Not even sure how to lay out the data.

Binomial pair (x,n) outcome,  for each individual and each time and another
binomial pair for the predictor?

Regards

Lize van der Merwe
