Abstract

Quasi-likelihood estimation methods, an alternative to maximum likelihood estimation of the regression parameters in marginal models, are mainly used to deal with non-normal multivariate data. The goal of this paper is to use quasi-likelihood approach as a method for the analysis of rater agreement plus linear by linear association model, which is a type of log-linear models of rater agreement in contingency tables with ordinal variables. We discuss the differences between maximum likelihood and quasi-likelihood approaches and compared the standard errors.
