Covariance-Mean Regression Models
摘要
This chapter first reviews the four known mean regression models with non-spherical (non-identity) covariance matrices: weighted regression, generalized least squaresGeneralized least squares, longitudinal dataLongitudinal data, and multivariate regression. These models lead us to then introduce covariance-mean regression models. The theoretical properties of regression parameter estimators are established. In addition, two test statistics are presented: one analyzes the necessity of the auxiliary information, and the other assesses the adequacy of the covariance-mean regression model. Two examples are presented to briefly illustrate empirical applications.
