Thesis (Ph.D.)--Brown University, 2007.

Semiparametric regression by Bayesian penalized splines is a useful approach for characterizing the unknown functional relationships in regression analysis, when the prior information and substantive knowledge about the functionals are not available. Armed with the modeling flexibility from Bayesian penalized splines, we develop three types of Bayesian semiparametric regression models in various longitudinal study settings with censored and incomplete data. The proposed methods are motivated by scientific questions arising in HIV and AIDS research, and can be applied in different scientific research areas.

520 $a Semiparametric regression by Bayesian penalized splines is a useful approach for characterizing the unknown functional relationships in regression analysis, when the prior information and substantive knowledge about the functionals are not available. Armed with the modeling flexibility from Bayesian penalized splines, we develop three types of Bayesian semiparametric regression models in various longitudinal study settings with censored and incomplete data. The proposed methods are motivated by scientific questions arising in HIV and AIDS research, and can be applied in different scientific research areas.
520 $a We first propose a semiparametric regression model for longitudinal binary data that are irregularly spaced over time across individuals due to ignorable missingness. With flexible modeling by semiparametric formulations in both marginal mean and serial dependence structures, our likelihood-based approach can reduce the bias in marginal mean estimation induced by ignorable missingness, as shown by the simulation study.
520 $a The second part of this dissertation focuses on an important question in AIDS research, that is, the effect of Hepatitis C virus (HCV) coinfection on post-treatment HIV dynamics. Utilizing all available information in HIV cohort data and considering the biological background of HIV dynamics, we develop a joint model for interval-censored treatment initiation time and viral suppression time after treatment in addition to the longitudinal CD4 count process, where the evolution of the CD4 count process is captured by Bayesian penalized splines. The findings based on the data from HIV Epidemiology Research Study offer insights into the subject field and are consistent with the current knowledge on HCV coinfection.
520 $a Lastly, we propose a framework of mixtures of varying coefficient models to handle continuous-time informative dropout in longitudinal data. Following a mixture-modeling approach for dealing with informative dropout, we model the unknown functional relationship between model parameters in longitudinal outcome process and continuous dropout times by penalized splines. Using two examples on continuous and binary longitudinal data, we show that our framework can adjust marginal covariate effects for the potential selection bias induced by informative dropout. The strategies of sensitivity analysis regarding unverifiable model assumptions are also demonstrated by example.
