Maximum likelihood estimation of generalized linear models with covariate measurement error
Rabe-Hesketh, Sophia; Skrondal, Anders; Pickles, Andrew - 2003
Generalized linear models with covariate measurement error can be estimated by maximum likelihood using gllamm, a program that fits a large class of multilevel latent variable models (Rabe-Hesketh, Skrondal, and Pickles 2004). The program uses adaptive quadrature to evaluate the log likelihood,...
