In this paper we investigate optimal prediction of the finite population regression coefficient $\beta _ {N}$ under a general linear regression superpopulation model. Optimal predictors are obtained ...

We discuss prediction of random effects and of expected responses in multilevel generalized linear models. Prediction of random effects is useful for instance in small area estimation and disease ...

Sound Bites • The development of generalised linear models (GLMs) led to other important advances in statistics, particularly when the assumption of independence between responses is violated.
