Conditional Inference about Generalized Linear Mixed Models
نویسنده
چکیده
We propose a method of inference for generalized linear mixed models Ž . GLMM that in many ways resembles the method of least squares. We also show that adequate inference about GLMM can be made based on the conditional likelihood on a subset of the random effects. One of the important features of our methods is that they rely on weak distributional assumptions about the random effects. The methods proposed are also computationally feasible. Asymptotic behavior of the estimates is investigated. In particular, consistency is proved under reasonable conditions.

Conditional Likelihood Inference in Generalized Linear Mixed Models
Consider a generalized linear model with a canonical link function, containing both fixed and random effects. In this paper, we consider inference about the fixed effects based on a conditional likelihood function. It is shown that this conditional likelihood function is valid for any distribution of the random effects and, hence, the resulting inferences about the fixed effects are insensitive...
متن کاملBayesian Inference for Spatial Beta Generalized Linear Mixed Models
In some applications, the response variable assumes values in the unit interval. The standard linear regression model is not appropriate for modelling this type of data because the normality assumption is not met. Alternatively, the beta regression model has been introduced to analyze such observations. A beta distribution represents a flexible density family on (0, 1) interval that covers symm...
متن کاملGaussian Variational Approximate Inference for Generalized Linear Mixed Models
Variational approximation methods have become a mainstay of contemporary Machine Learning methodology, but currently have little presence in Statistics. We devise an effective variational approximation strategy for fitting generalized linear mixed models (GLMM) appropriate for grouped data. It involves Gaussian approximation to the distributions of random effects vectors, conditional on the res...
متن کاملA note on conditional Akaike information for Poisson regression with random effects
A popular model selection approach for generalized linear mixed-effects models is the Akaike information criterion, or AIC. Among others, [5] pointed out the distinction between the marginal and conditional inference depending on the focus of research. The conditional AIC was derived for the linear mixed-effects model which was later generalized by [4]. We show that the similar strategy extends...
