Estimability and Likelihood Inference for Generalized Linear Mixed Models Using Data Cloning
通过数据克隆研究广义线性混合模型的可估性与似然推断
Maximum likelihood estimation for Generalized Linear Mixed Models (GLMM), an important class of statistical models with substantial applications in epidemiology, medical statistics, and many other fields, poses significant computational difficulties. In this article, we use data cloning, a simple computational method that exploits advances in Bayesian computation, in particular the Markov Chain Monte Carlo method, to obtain maximum likelihood estimators of the parameters in…
