Abstract

In this work, a type of quasi-linear system is presented, which is able to identify the “true” value of parameter-profile in the setup of “generalized linear mixed models”. A type of quasi-linearization of the link function is used, which would preserve basic sampling properties of conditioned moments of the random latent profile. Then, an approach is outlined in estimating. It uses a weighted quasi-linear estimating system which is exactly unbiased. Due to quasi-linearization, it might be solved by using easy-to-implement recursive procedures.
