Parameter Estimation in Spatial Generalized Linear Mixed Models with Skew Gaussian Random Effects using Laplace Approximation
Spatial generalized linear mixed models are used commonly for modelling non-Gaussian discrete spatial responses. We present an algorithm for parameter estimation of the models using Laplace approximation of likelihood function. In these models, the spatial correlation structure of data is carried out by random effects or latent variables. In most spatial analysis, it is assumed that rando...
متن کاملRobust MM-Estimation and Inference in Mixed Linear Models
Mixed linear models are used to analyse data in many settings. These models generally rely on the normality assumption and are often fitted by means of the maximum likelihood estimator (MLE) or the restricted maximum likelihood estimator (REML). However, the sensitivity of these estimation techniques and related tests to this underlying assumption has been identified as a weakness that can even...
متن کاملEstimation and Inference for Very Large Linear Mixed Effects Models
Linear mixed models with large imbalanced crossed random effects structures pose severe computational problems for maximum likelihood estimation and for Bayesian analysis. The costs can grow as fast as N3/2 when there are N observations. Such problems arise in any setting where the underlying factors satisfy a many to many relationship (instead of a nested one) and in electronic commerce applic...
متن کاملParameter Estimation for Mixtures of Generalized Linear Mixed - effects Models
Finite mixtures of simpler component models such as mixtures of normals and mixtures of generalized linear models (GLM) have proven useful for modelling data arising from a heterogeneous population, typically under an independence assumption. Mixed-effects models are often used to handle correlation as arises in longitudinal or other clustered data. In Chapter 3 of this dissertation, we present...
متن کاملInference and Parameter Estimation in Gamma Chains
We investigate a class of prior models, called Gamma chains, for modelling depedicies in time-frequencyrepresentations of signals. We assume transform coefficients are drawn independently from Gaussians wherethe latent variances are coupled using Markov chains of inverse Gamma random variables. Exact inference isnot feasible but this model class is conditionally conjugate, so st...
