A type of restricted maximum likelihood estimator of variance components in generalised linear mixed models
广义线性混合模型方差分量的一类限制极大似然估计
The maximum likelihood estimator of the variance components in a linear model can be biased downwards. Restricted maximum likelihood (REML) corrects this problem by using the likelihood of a set of residual contrasts and is generally considered superior. However, this original restricted maximum likelihood definition does not directly extend beyond linear models. We propose a REML‐type estimator for generalised linear mixed models by correcting the bias in the profile score…
