Abstract

ABSTRACT: In this research, we propose longitudinal generalised variance functions (LGVFs) to produce convenient estimates of variances by incorporating time effect into modelling. Asymptotic properties of some certain type of estimators are investigated. Simulation studies and implementation of the proposed methods to Current Population Survey (CPS) data show that LGVFs work well in producing standard error estimates.
