On the use of a working correlation matrix in using generalised linear models for repeated measures
重复测量广义线性模型中工作相关矩阵的使用问题
In a seminal paper Liang & Zeger (1986) extended the use of generalised linear models to repeated measures data. They based the analysis on specifications for the means and variances of the observations, as usual for generalised linear models, but showed how specifications for the correlations between measurements made on the same unit could be avoided by using a ‘working’ correlation matrix. In some cases the parameters involved in this matrix are subject to an uncertainty…
