The population averaged regression parameters tend <strong>to</strong>be attenuated (closest <strong>to</strong> zero) relative <strong>to</strong> the subject-specific regression parameters.A marginal regression model does not address questions concerningheterogeneity between individuals.Estimating the parameters in a logistic random effects model is undertakenby maximum likelihood. Details are given in Skrondal and Rabe-Hesketh(2004). If the model is correctly specified, maximum likelihood estimates areconsistent when subjects in the study drop out at random (see Chapter 12).© 2010 by Taylor and Francis Group, LLC
