| Article Title: | Covariance structure models for clustered proportions |
| Abstract: | Covariance structures as functions of the means and extra-variation and correlation parameters are presented to model proportions correlated due to random clustering effects. The mean structures are specified by logistic regressions with proportion-specific covariates. The maximum quasi-likelihood/moment estimating functions for all the parameters are constructed. The resulting estimators are asymptotically normal. A general quasi-score test procedure is developed for testing the significance of any subset of the parameters. The small sample properties are studied through simulations. An illustrative example is included. |
