Abstract
In multivariate longitudinal data analysis, multiple outcomes are repeatedly measured over time. Therefore, unlike univariate longitudinal data analysis, multivariate longitudinal data have complex correlations between repeated outcomes, and there is a lot of literature on modeling covariance matrices to illustrate these correlations. In this paper, we investigate one of methods to model the covariance matrices with the complex correlations, Cholesky decomposition and hypersphere decomposition, and we also investigate the Bayesian modeling of the covariance matrices. Then, through the simulation studies in various situations, we will explore the performance of the the models.
Keywords : Bayesian comparison study, general linear model, modified Cholesky decomposition, multivariate longitudinal data.
