This study introduces a weighted Wilcoxon rank method for clustered data, improving regression analysis by accounting for correlations within clusters. The proposed method demonstrates high efficiency and robustness, particularly when incorporating correlation into weighting schemes.

Area of Science:

  • Biostatistics
  • Statistical Modeling
  • Data Analysis

Background:

  • Clustered data analysis presents challenges due to within-cluster correlations and varying cluster sizes.
  • Existing regression models may not adequately address these complexities, potentially leading to biased or inefficient estimates.
  • Robust statistical methods are needed for reliable inference in the presence of complex data structures.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and evaluate a novel ranked-based regression model for clustered data.
  • To specifically address the impact of within-cluster correlations and varying cluster sizes on regression estimates.
  • To propose a robust method that is efficient and resilient to outliers and misspecification of correlation structures.

Main Methods:

  • A weighted Wilcoxon rank method was developed for clustered data regression.

  • Asymptotic normality of the proposed estimators was theoretically established.
  • A covariance estimation method was introduced, avoiding density function estimation.

    • Main Results:

    • Simulation studies demonstrated the effectiveness of the proposed weighted Wilcoxon rank method.
    • The method incorporating correlation into weighting achieved superior efficiency and robustness against outliers and misspecified correlation structures.
    • The proposed covariance estimation method proved practical and bypassed complex density function estimation.

    Conclusions:

    • The proposed weighted Wilcoxon rank method offers a powerful and reliable approach for ranked-based regression with clustered data.
    • The method's robustness and efficiency make it suitable for real-world applications with complex data structures.
    • This work provides a valuable tool for statisticians and researchers analyzing clustered and potentially outlier-prone datasets.
