Generalized Estimating Equations (gee) for glm–type data
The idea behind estimating functions is to find a function ψ(θ) which immitates the score function U(θ) = d dθ log p(y; θ). Let ψ(θ) = ψ(θ,y) be such a function denoted an estimating function. Solve (usually by iteration) the estimating equations ψ(θ) = 0 giving θˆ = θˆ(y) If E θ(ψ(θ)) = 0 for all θ (which holds for the ...
