lbrat_est.gee: GEE NULL model estimation

In ZWang-Lab/LBRAT: Retrospective Association Testing for Longitudinal Binary Outcomes

Description

This function estimate the parameters and residuals for the NULL model in LBRAT

Usage

lbrat_est.gee(y.long, time, y.cov, timecov = TRUE, corstr = "ar1",
  tol = 10^-6, max.iter = 50)

Arguments

y.long	Long-formatted phenotype vector
time	Time covarites matched with phenotype vector
y.cov	Covariate matrix denoting the covariate variables measured at each time
timecov	Logical variable, indicating whether the time fixed effect is estimated
corstr	String, correlation structure for GEE model, optional values are: 'ar1', 'ind', 'mixture'
tol	Numeric, tolerance for the iterative estimation in when using mixture correlation structure
max.iter	Numeric, the maximum count for the iterative estimation in when using mixture correlation structure

Value

This function returns a list object with model parameters and residuals of the NULL GEE model
