Abstract:
RMGEE is an easy-to-use FORTRAN program for the analysis of repeated binary, count, and normally-distributed response variables using the generalized estimating equations approach of Liang and Zeger [1]. The program can be used when measurements are obtained at multiple time points from each subject or experimental unit, and also when the basic sampling unit is a group or cluster of subjects, and the response variable of interest is obtained from each subject within the cluster. It is not necessary for the number of repeated measurements to be the same for every experimental unit and missing data are easily accommodated. Both time-independent (cluster-specific) and time-dependent (occasion- or subject-specific) covariates are permitted. The program can be run on microcomputers, workstations, and mainframe computers. Three examples illustrating the usage and features of RMGEE are provided.

Regression Analysis
In regression analysis, a regression equation is determined based on the line of best fit– a line that best fits the data points plotted in a graph. This line is also called the regression line. The algebraic equation for the regression line is called the regression equation. It is represented as:
Multiple Regression
Farmers can use multiple regression to determine the crop yield based on more than one factor, such as water availability, fertilizer, soil properties, etc. Here, the crop yield is the response or dependent variable as it depends on the other independent variables. The analysis requires the construction of a scatter plot...
