Likelihood-Based Inference for Generalized Linear Mixed Models: Inference with the R Package glmm
No full textThe R package glmm enables likelihood‐based inference for generalized linear mixed models with a canonical link. No other publicly available software accurately conducts likelihood‐based inference for generalized linear mixed models with crossed random effects. glmm is able to do so by approximating the likelihood function and two derivatives using importance sampling. The importance sampling distribution is an essential piece of Monte Carlo likelihood approximation, and developing a good one is the main challenge in implementing it. The package glmm uses the data to tailor the importance sampling distribution and is constructed to ensure finite Monte Carlo standard errors. In the context of the generalized linear mixed model, the salamander model with crossed random effects has become a benchmark example. We use this model to illustrate the complexities of the likelihood function and to demonstrate the use of the R package glmm

No full textMissing Miss Stein and Hating Yale
No full textBiography of Lynes, an openly gay photographer who rose to prominence in the 1930s and 40s. Chapter covers the young Lynes\u27s reluctant 1926 return to his family home in New Jersey, far away from his Parisian creative circle and mentor Gertrude Stein. Discusses Lynes\u27s early withdrawal from Yale and growing interest in the publishing industry, including his work on a series of pamphlets under the imprint of As Stable Press, featuring contributions by Stein, Jean Cocteau, and Hemingway among others. Notes Hemingway\u27s derogatory handwritten comments about gay contributors on the Today is Friday pamphlet that Hemingway gave to Sara and Gerald Murphy, suggesting Hemingway was unaware of Lynes\u27s sexual orientation when he allowed Lynes to publish his short dramatic play
Her Privates We
No full textHemingway said he read Her Privates We, a book by Frederic Manning, every year, and he began his Men at War with the first chapter of Manning\u27s book, an account of World War I service. Manning\u27s book, which was published under two titles, In the Middle Parts of Fortune and Her Privates We-the first volume privately printed and unexpurgated, the second initially bowdlerized-features a protagonist named Bourne. Bourne shares several features with his namesake David in The Garden of Eden, which Hemingway begin shortly after the war and after publishing Men at War
The Relativity of Our Viewpoints
No full textA brief meditation on truth-telling that springs from the story of Hadley Hemingway\u27s lost suitcase and considers the conflicting memories of Hemingway and Blaise Cendrars and some who knew them both
Dysfunctional Tribalism in Ernest Hemingway\u27s The Sun Also Rises
No full textExtends Jake Barnes\u27s war-related sexual inadequacy to the larger dysfunction of his social group, or tribe, in The Sun Also Rises, and, thus, to the modern world
Mailer and Hemingway
No full textParallels the lives and careers of the two great American novelists, linking their shared interests in war and death, commitment to craft, and celebrity status. Traces Mailer\u27s evolution over the decades from short story writer to novelist to journalist/critic, surveying his complicated response to Hemingway, with whom he was often compared
