Generalized Multilevel Functional Regression
广义多层函数型回归
We introduce Generalized Multilevel Functional Linear Models (GMFLMs), a novel statistical framework for regression models where exposure has a multilevel functional structure. We show that GMFLMs are, in fact, generalized multilevel mixed models (GLMMs). Thus, GMFLMs can be analyzed using the mixed effects inferential machinery and can be generalized within a well researched statistical framework. We propose and compare two methods for inference: 1) a two-stage frequentist…
