The nonlinear mixed effects model with a smooth random effects density

Biometrika, 80(3), 475–488.

By: M. Davidian n & A. Gallant n

TL;DR: The fixed parameters of the nonlinear mixed effects model and the density of the random effects are estimated jointly by maximum likelihood by using a series expansion that follows from the smoothness assumption to represent the density and quadrature to compute the likelihood.

Estimation of variance functions in assays with possibly unequal replication and nonnormal data

Biometrika, 77(1), 43–54.

By: M. Davidian n

TL;DR: It is shown that ignoring unequal replication can lead to bias and inefficiency in estimation, and a method to account for bias is described that can offer robustness to nonnormality and leads to a comparison of Gini's mean difference to sample standard deviation. (via Semantic Scholar)
