摘要
This article considers the maximum likelihood estimation in generalized linear mixed models (GLMMs). Using results from number theory, we propose a numerical EM algorithm to find the maximum likelihood estimates in GLMMs. Details of the steps required by applying the proposed numerical method to the E-step of the EM algorithm are outlined. The performance and efficiency of the proposed method are compared to some commonly used methods discussed in the literature.
