Abstract

Adaptive analyses are presented of blood lead levels for children at 0, 1, 4, and 6 weeks using exponential regression with the natural log link function. The choice of the number of folds is addressed as well as the choice of the correlation structure. Results are compared for partially modified generalized estimating equations (GEE), fully modified GEE, and extended linear mixed modeling (ELMM). Linearity of the log of the means in week with constant dispersions is addressed as well as a comparison to standard GEE modeling and the dependence of means and dispersions on week. Adaptive additive and adaptive moderation models are generated for week and the indicator for being on the chelating agent succimer. Direct variance modeling of the blood lead levels is addressed and a summary of the analysis results is provided. SAS code for generating these analyses is described along with output generated by that code.
