Multivariate Generalized Linear Mixed Models for Ranking Sports Teams
Overview
Maximum likelihood estimates are obtained via an EM algorithm with either a first-order or a fully exponential Laplace approximation as documented by Broatch and Karl (2018) doi:10.48550/arXiv.1710.05284, Karl, Yang, and Lohr (2014) doi:10.1016/j.csda.2013.11.019, and by Karl (2012) doi:10.1515/1559-0410.1471. Karl and Zimmerman doi:10.1016/j.jspi.2020.06.004 use this package to illustrate how the home field effect estimator from a mixed model can be biased under nonrandom scheduling.
- Stabilized finite-difference probit derivative tests on ARM platforms by using larger Richardson steps with unchanged tolerances. Added independent high-precision derivative references. Model computations, public arguments, and defaults are unchanged.
