Two algorithms for fitting constrained marginal models

From MaRDI portal
Publication:1800112




Abstract: We study in detail the two main algorithms which have been considered for fitting constrained marginal models to discrete data, one based on Lagrange multipliers and the other on a regression model. We show that the updates produced by the two methods are identical, but that the Lagrangian method is more efficient in the case of identically distributed observations. We provide a generalization of the regression algorithm for modelling the effect of exogenous individual-level covariates, a context in which the use of the Lagrangian algorithm would be infeasible for even moderate sample sizes. An extension of the method to likelihood-based estimation under L1-penalties is also considered.
