This study introduces a flexible mixed-effects model for analyzing repeated categorical data. The method, using maximum marginal likelihood, effectively handles complex response patterns in longitudinal studies.

Area of Science:

  • Statistics
  • Biostatistics
  • Longitudinal Data Analysis

Background:

  • Analyzing clustered or longitudinal data with nominal or ordinal responses presents statistical challenges.
  • Existing models may lack flexibility in comparing response categories, particularly in complex datasets.
  • Repeated measures in psychiatric research, such as tracking living arrangements of homeless adults with mental illness, require robust analytical tools.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a novel mixed-effects multinomial logistic regression model.
  • To provide a flexible framework for analyzing clustered and longitudinal nominal or ordinal response data.
  • To demonstrate the model's utility with a real-world psychiatric dataset.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a mixed-effects multinomial logistic regression model.

  • Parameterization allowing flexible contrasts for comparisons across response categories.
  • Estimation via maximum marginal likelihood (MML) using quadrature for numerical integration of random effects.

    • Main Results:

    • The proposed model accommodates complex dependencies in repeated categorical outcomes.
    • Maximum marginal likelihood with quadrature provides a viable estimation strategy.
    • The psychiatric dataset analysis illustrates the model's practical application and interpretability.

    Conclusions:

    • The described mixed-effects multinomial logistic regression model offers a powerful and flexible approach for analyzing longitudinal and clustered categorical data.
    • The MML estimation method is effective for handling the complexities of random effects.
    • This model is particularly valuable for research involving repeated classifications in fields like psychiatry.
