β¦ Synopsis
A computer program is presented that provides estimates of parameters from mathematical models describing discrete data. The program calculates maximum likelihood estimates for both complete and incomplete cases. Also included are the standard errors of the estimates, the expected values and a chi-square criterion for assessing 'goodness of fit'.

The purpose of this paper is to present a procedure for obtaining approximate maximum likelihood mtimates for compound binary response models. The extra binomial variation ie incorporated into the model by adding random effects t o the fixed effects on the probit (or logit) scale. Numerical integrat
We derive a non-parametric maximum likelihood estimator for bivariate interval censored data using standard techniques for constrained convex optimization. Our approach extends those taken for univariate interval censored data. We illustrate the estimator with bivariate data from an AIDS study.
