Abstract
This paper considers generalized linear models in a dataโrich environment in which a large number of potentially useful explanatory variables are available. In particular, it deals with the case that the sample size and the number of explanatory variables are of similar sizes. We adopt the idea that the relevant information of explanatory variables concerning the dependent variable can be represented by a small number of common factors and investigate the issue of selecting the number of common factors while taking into account the effect of estimated regressors. We develop an information criterion under model misโspecification for both the distributional and structural assumptions and show that the proposed criterion is a natural extension of the Akaike information criterion (AIC). Simulations and empirical data analysis demonstrate that the proposed new criterion outperforms the AIC and Bayesian information criterion. Copyright ยฉ 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

A generalization of the Broadwell models for the discrete Boltzmann equation with linear and quadratic terms is investigated. We prove that there exists a time-global solution to this model in one space-dimension for locally bounded initial data, using a maximum principle of solutions. The boundedne
In view of the cumbersome and often intractable numerical integrations required for a full likelihood analysis, several suggestions have been made recently for approximate inference in generalized linear mixed models and other nonlinear variance component models. For example, we refer to the penaliz
