In this module, we will introduce the basic conceptual framework for statistical modeling in general, and linear statistical models in particular. In this module, we will learn how to fit linear ...

A simulation study and a real data analysis show that the importance sampling EM method provides a viable alternative to CGROUP for fitting multivariate latent regression models. JEBS provides an ...
