The analysis of longitudinally correlated binary data has attracted considerable attention of late. Since the estimation of parameters in models for such data is based on asymptotic theory, it is necessary to investigate the small-sample properties of estimators by simulation. In this paper, we...

The relationship between marginal (population-averaged) models for cluster-correlated binary data, and a class of cluster-specific, logistic-normal random effects models is discussed. We show that random effects models can accomplish the same end as a more direct modelling of intra-cluster...
