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 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...
متن کاملDoes Type of Pain Predict Pain Severity Changes in Individuals With Multiple Sclerosis? A Longitudinal Analysis Using Generalized Estimating Equations
Background & Objective: Pain is a common symptom among people with MS. In the majority of MS patients, pain is chronic in nature, but it can change over time. The objective of this study was to determine if pain type can predict pain severity changes in individuals with MS over time. Materials & Methods: The research method was a longitudinal design that evaluated pain type and severity at...
متن کاملa swot analysis of the english program of a bilingual school in iran
با توجه به جایگاه زبان انگلیسی به عنوان زبانی بین المللی و با در نظر گرفتن این واقعیت که دولت ها و مسئولان آموزش و پرورش در سراسر جهان در حال حاضر احساس نیاز به ایجاد موقعیتی برای کودکان جهت یاد گیری زبان انگلیسی درسنین پایین در مدارس دو زبانه می کنند، تحقیق حاضر با استفاده از مدل swot (قوت ها، ضعف ها، فرصتها و تهدیدها) سعی در ارزیابی مدرسه ای دو زبانه در ایران را دارد. جهت انجام این تحقیق در م...

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...
