This study aims to compare the performance of data modeling with Poisson regression Generalized Linear Model (GLM), Mixed (GLMM), and Estimating Equation (GEE) modeling. The case used is a factor that affects number Pulmonary Tuberculosis cases in Indonesia panel data. Based on AIC criteria, smallest BIC RMSE GLMM models perform better than GLM GEE. In addition, also has coefficient determinati...

Modeling longitudinal binary data is challenging but common in practice. Existing methods on modeling of responses take no account the fact that correlation coefficient must have an upper bound which smaller than one. Ignoring this can lead to incorrect statistical inferences for data. A novel method proposed model mean and within-subject coefficients data, simultaneously, by taking into constr...
