In generalized linear models, the response is assumed to possess a probability distribution of the exponential form. That is, the probability density of the response Y for continuous response ...

Researchers and students of applied statistics and the social and behavioral sciences will find this book indispensable for understanding both general linear model theory and application. The model is ...

This paper develops a class of models to deal with missing data from longitudinal studies. We assume that separate models for the primary response and missingness (e.g., number of missed visits) are ...

Various methods have been proposed for smoothing under the monotonicity constraint. We review the literature and implement an approach of monotone smoothing with B-splines for a generalized linear ...
