文摘Longitudinal data with ordinal outcomes commonly arise in clinical and social studies,where the purpose of interest is usually quantile curves rather than a simple reference range.In this paper we consider Bayesian nonlinear quantile regression for longitudinal ordinal data through a latent variable.An efficient Metropolis–Hastings within Gibbs algorithm was developed for model fitting.Simulation studies and a real data example are conducted to assess the performance of the proposed method.Results show that the proposed approach performs well.
