Generalized estimating equation

In statistics, a generalized estimating equation (GEE) is used to estimate the parameters of a generalized linear model with a possible unmeasured correlation between observations from different timepoints. Regression beta coefficient estimates from the Liang-Zeger GEE are consistent, unbiased, and asymptotically normal even when the working correlation is misspecified, under mild regularity conditions.
