This study proposes a penalization type of generalized estimating equation method for estimation in the generalized semiparametric model for longitudinal data when the number of parameters diverges with the sample size. The method involves approximating the posterior distribution of random effects using a Metropolis algorithm, and the resulting estimators enjoy oracle properties under some regularity conditions. Simulation studies and analysis of real data sets demonstrate the performance of the proposed method.
This paper considers the problem of estimation in the generalized semiparametric model for longitudinal data when the number of parameters diverges with the sample size. A penalization type of generalized estimating equation method is proposed, while we use the regression spline to approximate the nonparametric component. The proposed procedure involves the specification of the posterior distribution of the random effects, which cannot be evaluated in a closed form. However, it is possible to approximate this posterior distribution by producing random draws from the distribution using a Metropolis algorithm. Under some regularity conditions, the resulting estimators enjoy the oracle properties, under the high-dimensional regime. Simulation studies are carried out to assess the performance of our proposed method, and two real data sets are analyzed for procedure demonstration.
