Since the common methods for correlated data have a much lower ability rather than for the independent data, we should use the models which consider the correlation among the data. The mixed and marginal models consider the correlation factor among the data, and so obtain a better fit for that. Furthermore, the semiparametric regression has more flexibility compared to the parametric and nonparametric regression. Consequently, based on the properties of the longitudinal data, the marginal longitudinal semiparametric regression with the penalized spline estimations, is a suitable choice for the analysis of the longitudinal data. In this article, the semiparametric regression with different coefficients which specifies the relationship between a response variable and an explanatory variable based on another explanatory variable is assessed. In addition, Bayesian inference on the nonparametric model for a simulated data and the marginal longitudinal semiparametric model for a real data have been done by standard software; and the results have good performance.
