Selecting an appropriate correlation structure in analysis oflongitudinal data can greatly improve parameter estimationefficiency and hence leads to more reliable statistical inferences.There are a number of criteria proposed in recent literaturederived from different perspectives and little is known on their relative performance.To this end, this paper reviewed and evaluated these criteria by carrying outextensive simulation studies including Gaussian, binary and Poissonresponses. Surprisingly, the AIC and BIC based on either Gaussian working likelihood orempirical likelihood were found that they outperformed the others.
Keywords:empirical likelihood;Gaussian distribution; model selection
