Modeling Correlated Outcomes Using Extensions of Generalized Estimating Equations and Linear Mixed Modeling

This book formulates methods for modeling continuous and categorical correlated outcomes that extend the commonly used methods: generalized estimating equations (GEE) and linear mixed modeling. Partially modified GEE adds estimating equations for variance/dispersion parameters to the standard GEE estimating equations for the mean parameters. Fully modified GEE provides alternate estimating equatio...
