Abstract

This paper is motivated from a neurophysiological study of muscle fatigue, in which biomedical researchers are interested in understanding the time-dependent relationships of handgrip force and electromyography measures. A varying coefficient model is appealing here to investigate the dynamic pattern in the longitudinal data. The response variable in the study is continuous but bounded on the standard unit interval (0, 1) over time, while the longitudinal covariates are contaminated with measurement errors. We propose a generalization of varying coefficient models for the longitudinal proportional data with errors-in-covariates. We describe two estimation methods with penalized splines, which are formalized under a Bayesian inferential perspective. The first method is an adaptation of the popular regression calibration approach. The second method is based on a joint likelihood under the hierarchical Bayesian model. A simulation study is conducted to evaluate the efficacy of the proposed methods under different scenarios. The analysis of the neurophysiological data is presented to demonstrate the use of the methods.
