Although generalized linear models are reasonably well known, they are not as widely used in medical statistics as might be appropriate, with the exception of logistic, log-linear, and some survival models. At the same time, the generalized linear modelling methodology is decidedly outdated in that

โฆ Synopsis
Generalized linear models may be extended in several ways. This paper describes five such extensions: (i) generalized additive models; (ii) the use of quasi-likelihood; (iii) joint modelling of mean and dispersion; (iv) introduction of extra random components to give hierarchical generalized linear models; (v) modelling of correlated responses within subjects in longitudinal models. These extensions are largely independent, and so can be combined in many ways to produce a large class of models. Finally, a further extension to dynamic forms of the models is sketched.

The linear-logistic regression model and Cox's proportional hazard model are widely used in epidemiology. Their successful application leaves no doubt that they are accurate reflections of observed disease processes and their associated risks or incidence rates. In spite of their prominence, it is n
This paper presents a fully parametric empirical Bayes approach for the analysis of count data, with emphasis on its application to environmental toxicity data. A hierarchical structure for the mean response is developed from a generalized linear model, based on a Poisson distribution. The linear pr
