Second term improvement to generalized linear mixed model asymptotics
广义线性混合模型渐近理论的第二项改进
Abstract A recent article by Jiang et al. (2022) on generalized linear mixed model asymptotics derived the rates of convergence for the asymptotic variances of maximum likelihood estimators. If m denotes the number of groups and n is the average within-group sample size then the asymptotic variances have orders m−1 and (mn)−1, depending on the parameter. We extend this theory to provide explicit forms of the (mn)−1 second terms of the asymptotically harder-to-estimate…
