Default Estimation Techniques
Based on the structure of the model, the GLIMMIX procedure selects the estimation technique for estimating the model parameters. If you fit a generalized linear mixed model, you can change the estimation technique with the METHOD= option in the PROC GLIMMIX statement. The defaults are determined as follows:
-
generalized linear model
-
normal distribution: restricted maximum likelihood
-
all other distributions: maximum likelihood
-
-
generalized linear model with overdispersion Parameters (
; 
, if present) are estimated by (restricted) maximum likelihood as for generalized linear models. The overdispersion parameter
is estimated from the Pearson statistic after all other parameters have been estimated.
-
generalized linear mixed models The default technique is METHOD=RSPL, corresponding to maximizing the residual log pseudo-likelihood with an expansion about the current solutions of the best linear unbiased predictors of the random effects. In models for normal data with identity link, METHOD=RSPL and METHOD=RMPL are equivalent to restricted maximum likelihood estimation, and METHOD=MSPL and METHOD=MMPL are equivalent to maximum likelihood estimation. This is reflected in the labeling of statistics in the “Fit Statistics” table.
