Consistent Estimators in Generalized Linear Mixed Models

Jiang, Jiming·1998·Journal of the American Statistical Association

Abstract

A simple method based on simulated moments is proposed for estimating the fixed-effects and variance components in a generalized linear mixed model (GLMM). It is shown that the method is not only computationally attractive but also leads to consistent estimators. On the other hand, simulation shows that the method can be quite inefficient.

Statistics

Recomputing p-values needs the paper’s full text.

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Mixed models have consistent estimators and do not require balanced data.

    “In imbalanced situations, “pseudo-bulk” methods also cause cells from individuals with fewer cells to be more heavily weighted, where mixed models have consistent estimators and do not require balanced data29.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
