A hierarchical spherical radial quadrature algorithm for multilevel GLMMs, GSMMs, and gene pathway analysis

The first part of my thesis is concerned with estimation for longitudinal data using generalized semi-parametric mixed models and multilevel generalized linear mixed models for a binary response. Likelihood based inferences are hindered by the lack of a closed form representation. Consequently, vari...
