In this note we discuss the breakdown behavior of the maximum likelihood (ML) estimator in the logistic regression model. We formally prove that the ML-estimator never explodes to inΓΏnity, but rather breaks down to zero when adding severe outliers to a data set. An example conΓΏrms this behavior.
We propose a maximum likelihood estimator (MLE) of the kappa coefficient from a 2 x 2 table when the binary ratings depend on patient and/or clinician effects. We achieve this by expressing the logit of the probability of positive rating as a linear function of the subject-specific and the rater-spe
