Sorry folks, I erroneously posted the message below to Stata listserv and
intended to send to Multilevel listserv instead. The query below does not
include a Stata specific question. (If anyone happens to have a response
anyway, please send it to me directly and not to the list -- thanks!)
Hi all --
I have a question about GEE estimates. First, let me specify a model from
a generalized linear mixed model perspective, more specifically a logistic
regression model with random effects with one within and one between
predictor. The within-cluster (or subject-specific) model is:
***stuff cut***
Now my question. What about the second error term, u1j(X1); is this error
simply ignored in the GEE framework or is it somehow modeled within the
working correlation matrix?
