摘要：

We present a new parsimonious method for joint mean-covariance modeling based on M-estimation and nonconcave penalty. In this paper, the robustness of the proposed model was aimed to address the issue when the working matrix is misspecified and a spot of outliers exist in the dataset. The proposed approach outperforms the traditional method in robustness and variable selections for longitudinal data analysis, particularly when the dataset contains a spot of outliers. The simulation results back up the theoretical findings, and the methodology is further illustrated via an analysis of a real progesterone data example.
