摘要：

Because of advances in data collection and storage, statistical analysis in modernscientific research and practice now has opportunities to utilize external informationsuch as summary statistics from similar studies. A likelihood approach based on aparametric model assumption has been developed in the literature to utilize externalsummary information when the populations for external data and the main internaldata are assumed to be the same. In this article we instead consider the generalizedestimation equation (GEE) approach for statistical inference, which is semiparametricor nonparametric, and show how to utilize external summary information even wheninternal and external data populations are not the same. Our approach is couplingthe internal data and external summary information to form additional estimationequations, and then applying the generalized method of moments (GMM). We showthat the proposed GMM estimator is asymptotically normal and, under some conditions, is more efficient than the GEE estimator without using external summaryinformation. Estimators of asymptotic covariance matrix of the GMM estimators arealso proposed. Simulation results are obtained to confirm our theory and to quantify the improvements from utilizing external data. An example is also included forillustration.
