Recently, Wang and Louis [Biometrika 90 (2003) 765-775] proposed a random intercept model in the clustered binary data setting where the marginal model has a logistic form. An acknowledged limitation ...

Wedderburn (1974) proposed a linear predictor and a link function to handle discrete traits. The linear predictor is simply a linear model combining information from the independent variables.

Statistical approaches to overdispersion, correlated errors, shrinkage estimation, and smoothing of regression relationships may be encompassed within the framework of the generalized linear mixed ...

We then sampled a phenotype for each individual from a generalized linear mixed model (GLMM) with a logistic link function whose parameters were adjusted to mimic that of the real data.
