Extended Generalized Estimating Equations for Clustered Data
聚类数据的扩展广义估计方程
Typically, analysis of data consisting of multiple observations on a cluster is complicated by within-cluster correlation. Estimating equations for generalized linear modeling of clustered data have recently received much attention. This article proposes an extension to the generalized estimating equation method proposed by Liang and Zeger, which treats within-cluster correlations as nuisance parameters. Using ideas from extended quasi-likelihood, estimating equations for…
