Generalized linear mixed models for binary data: are matching results from penalized quasi-likelihood and numerical integration less biased?

BACKGROUND: Over time, adaptive Gaussian Hermite quadrature (QUAD) has become the preferred method for estimating generalized linear mixed models with binary outcomes. However, penalized quasi-likelihood (PQL) is still used frequently. In this work, we systematically evaluated whether matching resul...
