Journal ArticleDOI
Modelling failure-time associations in data with multiple levels of clustering
TL;DR: In this article, a family of distributional models for failure-time data that accounts for multiple levels of clustering and reduces in the case of a single clustering level to a univariate frailty model is proposed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Use of robust variance components models to analyse triglyceride data in families
Terri H. Beaty,Steven G. Self,Kung Yee Liang,M. A. Connolly,Gary A. Chase,Peter O. Kwiterovich +5 more
TL;DR: A robust approach for analysis of variance components models is presented which does not rely on the assumption of multivariate normality for its validity, and using the observed variance in the first derivatives of the multivariate normal ‘working model’ to modify the conventional score test is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cognitive functioning in compulsive hoarding
Rianne M. Blom,Jack Samuels,Marco A. Grados,Yong Chen,O. Joseph Bienvenu,Mark A. Riddle,Kung Yee Liang,Jason Brandt,Gerald Nestadt +8 more
TL;DR: Evidence for impaired implicit memory in CHs, but also in OCD patients, albeit less severe is found, providing some evidence to suggest that CH and OCD have, at least on this one measure, differing cognitive substrates.
Journal ArticleDOI
On the asymptotic behaviour of the pseudolikelihood ratio test statistic with boundary problems.
Yong Chen,Kung Yee Liang +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors considered the asymptotic distribution of the likelihood ratio statistic T for testing a subset of parameter of interest θ, θ = (γ, η), H(0) : γ = γ(0), where ϕ is a consistent estimator of ϕ, the nuisance parameter.
Journal ArticleDOI
Application of odds ratio regression models for assessing familial aggregation from case-control studies
TL;DR: A regression model for estimating covariate effects on odds ratios to test for familial aggregation of common disease in first-degree relatives of cases and controls is presented and illustrated by using family data from a study of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
