Abstract: | Non-Gaussian spatial responses are usually modeled using a spatial generalized linear mixed model with location specific latent variables. The likelihood function of this model cannot usually be given in a closed form, thus the maximum likelihood approach is very challenging. So far, several numerical algorithms to solve the problem of calculating maximum likelihood estimates of this model have been presented. In this paper to estimate the parameters an approximate method is considered and a new algorithm is introduced that is much faster than existing algorithms but just as accurate. This is called the Approximate Expectation Maximization Gradient algorithm. The performance of the proposed algorithm and is illustrated with a simulation study and on a real data set. |
