Abstract

This article proposes a Bayesian approach for jointly estimating marginal conditional quantiles of multi-response longitudinal data with multivariate mixed effects model. The multivariate asymmetric Laplace distribution is employed to construct the working likelihood of the considered model. Penalization priors on regression parameters are incorporated into the working likelihood to conduct Bayesian high-dimensional inference. Markov chain Monte Carlo algorithm is used to obtain the fully conditional posterior distributions of all parameters and latent variables. Monte Carlo simulations are conducted to evaluate the sample performance of the proposed joint quantile regression approach. Finally, we analyze a longitudinal medical dataset of the primary biliary cirrhosis sequential cohort study to illustrate the real application of the proposed modeling method.
