Generalized Estimating Equations
These are … well written chapters … . The book contains challenging problems in exercises and is suitable to be a text book in a graduate level course on estimating functions. The references are up-to-date and exhaustive. … I enjoyed reading [this book] and recommend [it] very highly to the statistical community.- Journal of Statistical Computation and Simulation, Vol. 75, No. 2, Feb. 2005[The book] is comprehensive and covers much useful material with formulas presented in detail…this is a useful and recommendable book both for those who already work with GEE methods and for newcomers to the field.Statistics in Medicine, 2004Generalized Estimating Equations is the first and only book to date dedicated exclusively to generalized estimating equations (GEE). I find it to be a good reference text for anyone using generalized linear models (GLIM).The authors do a good job of not only presenting the general theory of GEE models, but also giving explicit examples of various correlation structures, link functions and a comparison between population-averaged and subject-specific models. Furthermore, there are sections on the analysis of residuals, deletion diagnostics, goodness-of-fit criteria, and hypothesis testing.
