摘要
Notable bias can exist in the empirical covariance matrix of parameter estimates obtained from the quadratic inference function method that incorporates an unstructured working correlation. We therefore derive a bias correction. Via simulation, we show that the proposed correction leads to appropriate standard error estimation. (C) 2013 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
