On Casting Random-Effects Models in a Survival Framework
将随机效应模型置于生存分析框架
Summary Logistic random-effects models are often employed in the analysis of correlated binary data. However, fitting these models is challenging, since the marginal distribution of the response variables is analytically intractable. Often, the random effects are treated as missing data for constructing traditional data augmentation algorithms. We create a novel alternative data augmentation scheme that simplifies the likelihood-based inference for logistic random-effects…
