Influence Diagnostics in Semiparametric Linear Mixed Measurement Error Models

Semiparametric linear mixed measurement error models are extensions of linear mixed measurement error models to include a nonparametric function of some covariate. They have been found to be useful in both cross-sectional and longitudinal studies. In this paper first we propose a penalized corrected likelihood approach to estimate the parametric component in semiparametric linear mixed measurement error model and then using the case deletion and subject deletion analysis we survey the influence diagnostics in such models. Finally, the performance of our influence diagnostics methods are illustrated through a simulated example and a real data set.
