A Generalized Estimating Equations
When inferences focus on population averages, one can directly model all of the marginal expectations E(Yij) = μij in terms of covariates of interest. This is typically done via h(μij) = x ′ ijβ, with h(·) some known link function, such as the logit link for binary responses. The marginal variance depends on the marginal mean according to Var(Yij) = v(μij)φ, where v(·) is a known variance funct...
متن کاملGeneralized Bootstrap for Estimating Equations
We introduce a generalized bootstrap technique for estimators obtained by solving estimating equations. Some special cases of this generalized bootstrap are the classical bootstrap of Efron, the deleted jackknife and variations of the Bayesian bootstrap. The use of the proposed technique is discussed in some examples. Distributional consistency of the method is established and an asymptotic rep...
متن کاملEstimating heritability and shared environmental effects for refractive error in twin and family studies.
PURPOSE Twin studies have demonstrated a high heritability for refractive error of up to 90%, but some family studies have suggested up to one-third of population variance is attributable to the effects of shared family environment. This large twin study aimed to explore the role of shared environment in refractive error. METHODS Refractive error was measured using autorefraction in 4602 subj...
متن کاملGeneralized Estimating Equations
It is a privilege to be able to peruse the fine article by Ziegler and Vens [1], as well as the contributions made by nine discussants [2]. Over the last 25 years, generalized estimating equations (GEE) have seen an ever further spreading use. Nonetheless, it is a technique confronted with confusion and, at times, misunderstanding. The user must carefully read the technique’s manual. Let us hig...
متن کاملestimating claims reserves using ibnr reserves
شرکت های بیمه در قبال بیمه گذاران متعهد می شوند که به ازای دریافت حق بیمه، خسارت وارده به بیمه گذاران را جبران نمایند. بنابراین بیمه گر همیشه مبالغی را بر عهده دارد که متعلق به بیمه گذاران است و مربوط به تعهدات آینده می باشد. این مبالغ را ذخایر فنی یا technical reserves گویند. بیمه گر موظف است در پایان سال مالی، هنگام بستن حساب ها، ذخایر فنی را محاسبه و نگهداری کند. پس از وقوع خسارت، بیمه گذار ...
