✦ Synopsis

A score-type test is proposed for testing the hypothesis of independent binary random variables against positive correlation in linear logistic models with sparse data and cluster specific covariates. The test is developed for univariate and multivariate one-sided alternatives. The main advantage of using score test is that it requires estimation of the model only under the null hypothesis, that in this case corresponds to the binomial maximum likelihood fit. The score-type test is developed from a class of estimating equations with block-diagonal structure in which the coefficients of the linear logistic model are estimated simultaneously with the correlation. The simplicity of the score test is illustrated in two particular examples.

In view of the cumbersome and often intractable numerical integrations required for a full likelihood analysis, several suggestions have been made recently for approximate inference in generalized linear mixed models and other nonlinear variance component models. For example, we refer to the penaliz
