Robust dynamic risk prediction with longitudinal studies

Providing accurate and dynamic age-specific risk prediction is a crucial step in precision medicine. In this manuscript, we introduce an approach for estimating the τ-year age-specific absolute risk directly via a flexible varying coefficient model. The approach facilitates the utilisation of predic...
