A Package for BInary Longitudinal Data
Description
Performs logistic regression for binary longitudinal data, allowing for serial dependence among observations from a given individual and a random intercept term. Estimation is via maximization of the exact likelihood of a suitably defined model. Missing values and unbalanced data are allowed, with some restrictions.
Details
This package contains functions to perform the fit of parametric models via likelihood method for binary
longitudinal data using "S4" classes and methods as implemented in the methods package.
Acknowledgments
We would like to thank the CRAN team for help in the fine tuning of the Fortran code.
