Title
Profile likelihood approach to a large sample distribution of estimators in joint mixture model of survival and longitudinal ordered data
Abstract
We consider a semiparametric joint model that consists of item response and survival components, where these two components are linked through latent variables.
We estimate the model parameters through a profile likelihood and the EM algorithm. We propose a method to derive an asymptotic variance of the estimators in this model.
