This section provides an overview of a likelihood-based approach to general linear mixed models. This approach simplifies and unifies many common statistical analyses, including those involving ...

Second, regardless of the form of regression used for GWAS, the significance of SNP-phenotype association should be determined by conditioning on exactly those SNPs that are associated with the ...

Generalized linear mixed models (GLMM) are useful in a variety of applications. With surrogate covariate data, existing methods of inference for GLMM are usually computationally intensive. We propose ...

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 ...
