Abstract
Rosner (1983, 1984) proposed a model for correlated binary outcomes in the presence of covariates based on the beta-binomial distribution. Although calculation of maximum likelihood estimates under this model is costly, alternative estimators based on the usual logistic model, with or without dummy varibles, are asymptotically biased (in general) and yield standard errors that are incorrect. An adjustment for the standard error of the usual logistic estimator is suggested for the case of one dichotomous independent variable. Also a familiar conditional approach is shown to have low asymptotic relative efficiency.
