A nested working dependence structure.
A working dependence structure that captures a nested hierarchy of groups, each level of which contributes to the random error term of the model.
When using this working covariance structure,
dep_data
of the GEE instance should contain a n_obs x k matrix of 0/1 indicators, corresponding to the k subgroups nested under the top-levelgroups
of the GEE instance. These subgroups should be nested from left to right, so that two observations with the same va
