Title:
GLAM: Generalized Linear Array Models


Abstract:
A Generalized Linear Array Model (GLAM) is a generalized linear model where the data lie on an array and the model matrix can be expressed as a Kronecker product. GLAM is conceptually attractive since its high-speed, low-footprint algorithms exploit the structure of both the data and the model. GLAMs have been applied in mortality studies, density estimation, spatial-temporal smoothing,variety trials, etc. In this talk we

(1) describe the GLAM ideas and algorithms in the setting of the original motivating example, two-dimensional smooth model of mortality,

(2) give an extended discussion of a recent application to the Lee-Carter model, an important model in the forecasting of mortality.
