An Introduction To Generalized Linear Mixed Models, Charles E. Mcculloch
Conference on Applied Statistics in Agriculture
The generalized linear mixed model (GLMM) generalizes the standard linear model in three ways: accommodation of non-normally distributed responses, specification of a possibly non-linear link between the mean of the response and the predictors, and allowance for some forms of correlation in the data. As such, GLMMs have broad utility and are of great practical importance. Two special cases of the GLMM are the linear mixed model (LMM) and the generalized linear model (GLM). Despite the utility of such models, their use has been limited due to the lack of reliable, well-tested estimation and testing methods. I first describe and …
