Generalized Linear Mixed Models: Theory and Applications - Continuing Education - Course
The ASA
Instructor(s): Oliver Schabenberger, SAS Institute, Inc.
This course will discuss the theory of generalized linear mixed models and their application. It will cover the requisite theory of generalized linear mixed models and examples and applications. Additional theoretical detail will be added as needed. The first part of the workshop will make the connection between linear models (LM), generalized linear models (GLM), linear mixed models (LMM), and generalized linear mixed models (GLMM) in terms of model formulation, distributional properties, and approaches to estimation. We will discuss the pros and cons of various estimation approaches and describe their implementation with SAS/STAT® software. The first part will end with a discussion of over-arching issues the analyst must confront when working with correlated, nonnormal data. The second part will use a variety of examples to revisit the theory taught in the first part, develop new insights, and present applications from different disciplines. Applications will range from modeling rates, proportions, and counts with random effects to GEE-type marginal models for nonnormal data to mixed model smoothing. A final section will describe inferential procedures following parameter estimation. Computations will be based on the mixed model tools in SAS/STAT® software, primarily the GLIMMIX and NLMIXED procedures.
