Prediction of Random Effects in the Generalized Linear Model
广义线性模型中的随机效应预测
This article develops an estimating function-based approach to component estimation in the two-stage generalized linear model with univariate random effects and a vector of fixed effects. The novelty and unifying feature of the method is the use of estimating functions in the estimation of both the random effects and their variance. Two separate estimating procedures based on the method are proposed that differ in the intensity of numerical computation required. The…
