Manual: Generalized Estimating Equations
Generalized Estimating Equations
Generalized Estimating Equations estimate generalized linear models for panel, cluster or repeated measures data when the observations are possibly correlated withing a cluster but uncorrelated across clusters. It supports estimation of the same one-parameter exponential families as Generalized Linear models (GLM
).
See Module Reference for commands and arguments.
Examples
The following illustrates a Poisson regression with exchangeable correlation within clusters using data on epilepsy seizures.
