Simultaneously Modeling Joint and Marginal Distributions of Multivariate Categorical Responses
多元分类响应的联合分布与边际分布同步建模
We discuss model-fitting methods for analyzing simultaneously the joint and marginal distributions of multivariate categorical responses. The models are members of a broad class of generalized logit and loglinear models. We fit them by improving a maximum likelihood algorithm that uses Lagrange's method of undetermined multipliers and a Newton-Raphson iterative scheme. We also discuss goodness-of-fit tests and adjusted residuals, and give asymptotic distributions of model…
