A Generalized Estimating Equations
When inferences focus on population averages, one can directly model all of the marginal expectations E(Yij) = μij in terms of covariates of interest. This is typically done via h(μij) = x ′ ijβ, with h(·) some known link function, such as the logit link for binary responses. The marginal variance depends on the marginal mean according to Var(Yij) = v(μij)φ, where v(·) is a known variance funct...
متن کاملGeneralized Bootstrap for Estimating Equations
We introduce a generalized bootstrap technique for estimators obtained by solving estimating equations. Some special cases of this generalized bootstrap are the classical bootstrap of Efron, the deleted jackknife and variations of the Bayesian bootstrap. The use of the proposed technique is discussed in some examples. Distributional consistency of the method is established and an asymptotic rep...
متن کاملEstimating Parameters for Stochastic Epidemics
Understanding the spread of infectious disease is an important issue in order to prevent major outbreaks. In this report mathematical modeling is used to gain insight into the dynamics of an epidemic. A process model, the SIR model, exploiting knowledge about population dynamics serves as framework. Key interest is in adapting the stochastic model to observed data – especially from animal produ...
متن کاملGeneralized Estimating Equations
It is a privilege to be able to peruse the fine article by Ziegler and Vens [1], as well as the contributions made by nine discussants [2]. Over the last 25 years, generalized estimating equations (GEE) have seen an ever further spreading use. Nonetheless, it is a technique confronted with confusion and, at times, misunderstanding. The user must carefully read the technique’s manual. Let us hig...
متن کاملFamilial associations of lipid profiles: a generalized estimating equations approach.
Elevated plasma levels of apolipoproteins A1 (apoA1) and B (apoB) are important protective factors and risk factors, respectively, for atherosclerosis and coronary heart disease. It is well known that both apoA1 and apoB reveal strong familial aggregation. Our goal was to investigate whether exogenous variables influence these associations. We used marginal regression models for the mean and as...
