Abstract

When covariates in Longitudinal data are subject to errors, the naive estimates of the model parameters are often biased. In this research, we exploit a Dynamic Binary Mixed-effects Model using a Generalized Quasi-likelihood approach. Through simulations, we shall study the patterns in the bias of the naive estimator of the parameters that ignores the errors in the covariates.
