Ordinal, Nominal, and Count Outcomes

In this chapterthe generalized linear mixed model as a family; ordinal outcomes with cumulative link models, thresholds, proportional odds, and its relaxation; nominal outcomes with baseline-category logit models and correlated random effects; counts with Poisson and negative binomial models, offsets, and observation-level random effects, with a simulation on the sources of overdispersion; excess zeros with zero-inflated and hurdle models; estimation, inference, and diagnostics across families; reporting.
