Abstract | Longitudinal clinical trials often collect long sequences of binary data monitoring a disease process over time. Our application is a
medical study conducted by VACURG to assess the effectiveness of a chemioterapic treatment (thiotepa) in preventing recurrence on subjects
affected by bladder cancer. We propose a generalized linear model with latent autoregressive structure for longitudinal binary data following a Bayesian approach. We describe a suitable posterior simulation scheme and discuss inference and sensitivity issues for the bladder
cancer data. |
