Comparison of Generalized Linear Model and Generalized Linear Mixed Model – An Application to Low Birth Weight Data

A Generalized Linear Statistical Model Approach to Monitor Profiles

Statistical process control methods for monitoring processes with univariate ormultivariate measurements are used widely when the quality variables fit to known probabilitydistributions. Some processes, however, are better characterized by a profile or a function of qualityvariables. For each profile, it is assumed that a collection of data on the response variable along withthe values of the c...

Maximum Likelihood Estimation of Parameters in Generalized Functional Linear Model

Sometimes, in practice, data are a function of another variable, which is called functional data. If the scalar response variable is categorical or discrete, and the covariates are functional, then a generalized functional linear model is used to analyze this type of data. In this paper, a truncated generalized functional linear model is studied and a maximum likelihood approach is used to esti...

Spatial structure of breast cancer using Poisson generalized linear mixed model in Iran

Background: Breast cancer is one of the most common diseases in women and causes more deaths rather than other cancers. The increasing trend of breast cancer in Iran makes clear the need of extensive breast cancer research in this area. Some studies showed that in the variety countries and even in the different areas in one country has different risk of breast cancer incidence and this is a rea...

An Introduction to Generalized Linear Mixed Models

Linear mixed models provide a powerful means of predicting breeding values. However, for many traits of economic importance the assumptions of linear responses, constant variance, and normality are questionable. Generalized linear mixed models provide a means of modeling these deviations from the usual linear mixed model. This paper will examine what constitutes a generalized linear mixed model...
