Estimation in generalized linear models with random effects
含随机效应的广义线性模型估计
A conceptually very simple but general algorithm for the estimation of the fixed effects, random effects, and components of dispersion in generalized linear models with random effects is proposed. Conditions are described under which the algorithm yields approximate maximum likelihood or quasi-maximum likelihood estimates of the fixed effects and dispersion components, and approximate empirical Bayes estimates of the random effects. The algorithm is applied to two data sets…
