Detecting Longitudinal Heterogeneity in Generalized Linear Models

In this article, we address the problem of detecting longitudinal heterogeneity in generalized linear models which is accomplished by a formal significance test for parameter instability accompanied by visualization techniques which allow for carrying out the test graphically and exploring the structure of the data.
