POPULATION-AVERAGED GENERALIZED ESTIMATING EQUATION MODELS (GEEs)
Zeger and Liang [1986] describe a class of estimators that address correlated panel data. The user must specify both a generalized linear model specification valid for independent data and the correlation structure of the panel data.
Although fixed-effects estimators and random-effects estimators are referred to as subject-specific estimators, the GEEs available through PROC GENMOD in SAS or xtgee in Stata, are called population-averaged estimators. This label refers to the interpretation of the fitted regression coefficients. Subject-specific estimators are interpreted in terms of an effect for a given panel, whereas population-averaged estimators are interpreted in terms of an affect averaged over panels. When and whether to draw inference for average sampling units is considered in the next section.
