On the estimation of variance parameters in non-standard generalised linear mixed models: Application to penalised smoothing

María Xosé Rodríguez-Álvarez, Maria Durban, Dae-Jin Lee +1

We present a novel method for the estimation of variance parameters in generalised linear mixed models. The method has its roots in Harville (1977)'s work, but it is able to deal w…

Spatio-temporal adaptive penalized splines with application to Neuroscience

María Xosé Rodríguez-Álvarez, María Durbán, Dae-Jin Lee +1

Data analysed here derive from experiments conducted to study neurons' activity in the visual cortex of behaving monkeys. We consider a spatio-temporal adaptive penalized spline (P…
