چکیده
This paper considers ways to increase computational speed in generalized linear mixed pseudo-models for the case of many repeated measurements on subjects. We obtain linearly increasing computing timewith number of observations, as opposed to O(n3) increasing computing time using numerical optimization. We also find a surprising result; that incomplete optimization for covariance parameterswithin the larger parameter estimation algorithm actually decreases time to convergence. After comparing various computing algorithms and choosing the best one, we fit a generalized linear mixed model to a binary time series data set with over 100 fixed effects, 50 random effects, and approximately 1.5× 105 observations.

Bayesian 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 کاملParameter 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 کاملPhase II monitoring of auto-correlated linear profiles using linear mixed model
In many circumstances, the quality of a process or product is best characterized by a given mathematical function between a response variable and one or more explanatory variables that is typically referred to as profile. There are some investigations to monitor auto-correlated linear and nonlinear profiles in recent years. In the present paper, we use the linear mixed models to account autocor...
متن کاملConvolution Models for fMRI
This chapter reviews issues specific to the analysis of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data. It extends the general linear model (GLM) introduced in Chapter 8 to convolution models, in which the blood oxygenation-level-dependent (BOLD) signal is modelled by neuronal causes that are expressed via a haemodynamic response function (HRF). We begin by considering linear convolution mod...
متن کاملSpatial 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...
