Generalized Score Test of Homogeneity Based on Correlated Random Effects Models
基于相关随机效应模型的同质性广义得分检验
Summary We present a family of tests based on correlated random effects models which provides a synthesis and a generalization of recent work on homogeneity testing. In these models each subject has a particular random effect, but the random effects between subjects are correlated. We derive the general form of the score statistic for testing that the random effects have a variance equal to 0. We apply this result to both parametric and semi-parametric models. In both cases…
