When data are obtained by two-stage cluster sampling, serious problems can arise if conventional methods that ignore the intracluster correlations are used. Wu, Holt, and Holmes showed that the ...

Partitioning biological data objects into clusters, such that the objects within the clusters are more similar to each other than to objects from different clusters, is a long-standing challenge in ...

We propose a two-step estimating procedure for generalized additive partially linear models with clustered data using estimating equations. Our proposed method applies to the case that the number of ...
