Moment-Based Estimation for Hierarchical Models

Description

Fast moment-based hierarchical model fitting. Implements methods from the papers "Fast Moment-Based Estimation for Hierarchical Models," by Perry (2017) and "Fitting a Deeply Nested Hierarchical Model to a Large Book Review Dataset Using a Moment-Based Estimator," by Zhang, Schmaus, and Perry (2018).
