Models fitted below:

Sampling Distribution:   Product Multinomial

Conditional on row totals,

    (yij1, yij2, yij3)  <- (Yij1, Yij2, Yij3)  indep ~ mult(nij, pij1, pij2, pij3),  i, j = 1,2.   

Here,  n11 = 180, n12 = 300, n21 = 290,  n22 = 310  and the table probabilities are interpreted as pijk =  P(Periods = k|SEX=i, RES=j).

Systematic Components (Linear Predictor Models):

Saturated mean-response model:

    Mij = b(0) + b(SEX)i + b(RES)j + b(SEX*RES)ij,

No-interaction mean-response model:

    Mij = b(0) + b(SEX)i + b(RES)j.

Here, Mij  = 0*pij1 + 1*pij2 + 2*pij3 = mean number of periods for SEX=i, RES=j.

These mean-response models have the generic form L(p) = Xb.  These are examples of  0-order HLP models.

FITTING PROGRAM USED:  mph.fit, version 3.0, 5/1/09 
REMARK:  The fact that norm.diff does not converge to 0 usually means that the ML estimates do not exist owing to 0 counts; indeed, for this example, a look at the fitted values indicates that the iterate estimates approach 0 for the 6th cell.   The  resulting estimates can be regarded as "extended" ML estimates, which allow for fitted values equal to 0, the boundary value.

For the saturated model fitted below, the print.iter=T  option is used.  We can monitor the iterations and see how the norm.diff criterion is not met.

Model of Marginal Homogeneity:  

It is assumed that y <- Y ~ multinomial( n=7477,   p),   where  the table probabilities satisfy:

        pi+ = p+i,  i=1,2,3, 4.  That is,     h(p) = [p1+ - p+1, p2+- p+2, p3+ - p+3]' = 0.    

Note:  The last constraint  p4+  = p+4  is implied by the first three, so is omitted to avoid redundancies.

Equivalently,  the model can be specified in terms of expected counts m:  

        mi+ = m+i,  i=1,2,3, 4.  That is,     h(m) = [m1+ - m+1, m2+- m+2, m3+ - m+3]' = 0.

Alternatively,  the marginal homogeneity model can be expressed in HLP form:

        L(p) = [p1+, p2+, p3+, p4+,   p+1, p+2, p+3, p+4 ]' = [b(1), b(2), b(3), b(4),   b(1), b(2), b(3), b(5)]' = X b

Note:  Given that (p1+ = p+1, p2+ = p+2  , p3+ = p+3) it follows that p4+ = p+4.   That is,   the last constraint is redundant.  Hence, the introduction of b(5) in the HLP model.

# Fit the h(m) = 0  version of the model...

#NOTE:  When the model is specified in terms of m, rather than p, 
#       mph.fit checks for Z homogeneity.  In the HLP setting, mph.fit also 
#       checks whether the link is an HLP link.
#
#       Submitting,  am <- mph.fit(y,constraint=h.fct,h.mean=T)
#       results in the following message:
#
#         CHECKING whether h(.) is Z homogeneous...Necessary condition [tol=1e-09] passed.
#    
#       The necessary condition is met. There is no evidence that h(.) is not Z homogeneous.
#
#       If the necessary condition alluded to in the message is not passed, it could be 
#       for one of two reasons:  (1)  h(.) is actually not Z homogeneous  or (2) the 
#       necessary condition check was subject to too much round-off error.  You can 
#       try using larger tolerance values (default=1e-09),  e.g. check.homog.tol = 1e-4.
#       If the condition does not pass with relatively large tolerance value, then it is 
#       likely that h(.) is not Z homogeneous; which means that the model not only constrains the 
#       table probabilities, it also constrains the expected sample sizes.   
#       In this non-Z-homogeneous case, mph.fit can not be used to fit the model.

Loglinear Model of Independence:

Assume that  y <- multinomial(n=100, p),  where  the table probabilities p satisfy:  

        log(pij) = b(0) + b(Bike)i  + b(Helmet)j ;   generically  log(p) = X b. 

or equivalently,  in constraint form,

        h(p) = U'log(p) = 0,   where   U is an orthogonal complement of X.

This model can also be re-expressed in terms of the expected counts m:

        log(mij) = b(0) + b(Bike)i  + b(Helmet)j ;   generically  log(m) = X b. 

or equivalently,  in constraint form,

        h(m) = U'log(m) = 0,   where   U is an orthogonal complement of X.

Logit Model:

log(pi1/pi2)  = b(0) + b(Bike)i.

Candidate Sampling Distributions:  

If the data are the result of a simple random sample from a single population, then  pij = P(Bike=i, Helmet = j).   The expected counts have the form mij = ν pij, where    ν is the expected sample size, which may [full-multinomial sampling plan] or may not  [full-Poisson sampling plan] be fixed a priori.

If the data are the result of a row-stratified random sample, then  pij = P(Helmet = j | Bike = i) .  The expected counts have the form mij = νi pij,  where   νi  is the expected sample size for the stratum [Bike = i].  These expected sample sizes may or may not be fixed a priori.

If the data are the result of a column-stratified random sample, then  pij = P(Bike= i | Helmet = j) .  The expected counts have the form mij = νj pij,  where   νj  is the expected sample size for the stratum [Helmet = j].  These expected sample sizes may or may not be fixed a priori.  Technically, under this sampling plan, the "logit" model is not a log odds model at all.  It actually has the form  log(pi1/pi2) = log(P(Bike=i|Helmet=1)/P(Bike=i|Helmet=2)) = log(P(Helmet=1|Bike=i)/P(Helmet=2|Bike=i)) + log(P(Helmet=2)/P(Helmet=1)).

Model Fitted:  y <- Y ~ multinomial(1, p),   where  p1 = p2 = ... = p500 ,  equivalently m1 = ... = m500.    (This is the model that states all the cell probabilities are 0.002.)
 

C <- cbind(1,-diag(499))
h.fct <- function(m) {
  C%*%m
} 
derht.fct <- function(m) {
  t(C)
}
a <- mph.fit(y,h.fct=h.fct, h.mean=T, derht.fct=derht.fct, print.iter=T)             #Does not converge!
REMARK:  The MLe's exist for this model of equal probabilities.  However, the many zero counts cause fitting problems. One way to mitigate fitting problems with zeroes is to begin the iterations using modified (non-zero) counts such as y+0.1.     The next run does just this.  By default, the modified counts y+y.eps are used until the 5th iteration, at which time the original counts y are used.
a <- mph.fit(y,h.fct=h.fct,derht.fct=derht.fct,h.mean=T, y.eps=0.1)       #Temporarily add 0.1 to counts
#
#    Note:  If derht.fct were not entered, then numerical derivatives of h wrt m would be used, and the 
#           fitting would be quite a bit slower.

EXAMPLE 13. Kappa regression models.

Analysis of Multiple Sclerosis Data. See  Landis and Koch (Biometrics 1977) for data source and a WLS analysis.  See Lang (HLP 2002) for a more detailed description of the models and the corresponding ML analyses outlined below.

Model Systematic Components:  

DIRECT SMOOTHING MODEL:  K(p) = Xb,  where K(p) is the vector of eight weighted kappa statistics.  The design matrix X forces certain kappa coefficients to be equal.

INDIRECT SMOOTHING MODEL:  L(p) = [L1(p), L2(p)],  where  L1(p) = log(p),  L2(p) = K(p), the eight kappa coefficients.   The model constrains the data parameters through

L1(p) = Xb,  L2(p)  = X2 κ,    where  X2  = diag(8), the 8x8 identity matrix.

The model L1(p) =  Xb has (k,i,j) component of the form

log(pkij) =    bk + b(A)ki + b(B)kj + b(A*B)k*i*j + b(agree)k*I(i=j),  where k indexes the two populations, i and j are the responses by neurologist A and B. 

The models have the generic form L(p) = Xb.  They can be seen to be HLP models.

X1b  = [b(cut1), b(cut2), b(cut1)+b(AGE), b(cut2)+b(AGE)],

and the loglinear association model L2(p) = log(p) = X2a has (i,j) component

log(pij) =  a + a(Use15)i + a(Use17)j + a*Use15.scorei*Use17.scorej   [linear-by-linear association model]  or

log(pij) = a + a(Use15)i + a(Use17)j   [independence association model].

The models, which have the generic form L(p) = Xb, are HLP models.

Remark:  As expected, the independence/probit model appears to be untenable for these repeated measures data.  Although the independence-model estimator of the marginal probit parameter b(AGE) is consistent, the reported standard error is not.  In fact, it can be anticipated that the actual standard error of this independence-model estimator is significantly larger than the  saturated-model estimator which correctly accommodates the association between the two responses, AGE15 and AGE17 marijuana use responses.

Models fitted below:

y ← Y ~ multinomial(n, p),  where the table probabilities p  satisfy...

...the generalized loglinear model  used in Lang and Agresti (JASA94):  L(p) = [L1(p), L2(p)] = [X1a, X2b] = Xδ,   where the components are defined as follows:

L1(p) = log(p).    

L2(p) = vector of oneway cumulative logits = log (odd(Rt <= h) , t=1,2,3,4,  h=1,2).  Here, Rt is the tth response variable (t=1=Environment, 2=Health, 3=Cities, 4=Law Enforcement).
 

X1a  has (ijkl)th element of the form: 

a(0) + a(1)i + a(2)j+ a(3)k + a(4)l + a(1,2)*i*j + a(1,3)*i*k + a(1,4)*i*l + a(2,3)*j*k + a(2,4)*j*l + a(3,4)*k*l

X2b has (t,h)th element of the form:   b(level)h + b(response)t

Note that L(p) = Xδ  has the generalized loglinear model form ClogAp = Xδ.  This model was denoted J(LxL)∩M(PO) in Lang and Agresti (JASA94), because the association structure is modeled via a  linear-by-linear loglinear model and the one-way marginal structure is modeled via a proportional odds cumulative logit model.

For convenience, we will augment this model so that estimates of the oneway marginal probabilities along with their corresponding adjusted residuals will be output. Specifically,  we will re-express the  model in the equivalent  form
 

L(p) = [L1(p), L2(p), L3(p)] = [X1a, X2b, X3θ] = Xβ,   where  L3(p) = (P(Rt=h), t=1,2,3,4, h=1,2,3) is the vector of one-way marginal probabilities and X3 = diag(12), the 12x12 identity matrix. 

In this model, the marginal probabilities L3(p) are indirectly smoothed via the constraints implied by [L1(p), L2(p)] = [X1a, X2b].   See Lang (JASA 2005) for a discussion of these "indirect smoothing models." 

The data model (data sampling model along with the data parameter model),  y ←Y ~ multinomial(n, p)  and   L(p) = Xβ,  is a homogeneous linear predictor model  (see Lang JASA 2005).
