Nested Generalized Linear Mixed Models: An Orthodox Best Linear Unbiased Predictor Approach
嵌套广义线性混合模型:经典最佳线性无偏预测方法
Summary We introduce a new class of generalized linear mixed models based on the Tweedie exponential dispersion model distributions, accommodating a wide range of discrete, continuous and mixed data. Using the best linear unbiased predictor of random effects, we obtain an optimal estimating function for the regression parameters in the sense of Godambe, allowing an efficient common fitting algorithm for the whole class. Although allowing full parametric inference, our main…
