Mixed Models for Binomial Data with an Application to Lamb Mortality

Journal of the Royal Statistical Society Series C, 1988, vol. 37, issue 2, 196-204

Abstract: The simplex method, a derivative‐free function maximisation algorithm, is used as an alternative to the EM algorithm in computing maximum likelihood estimates in mixed probit and logit models with binomial data. The models are used to estimate heritability and to predict sire effects when analysing a lamb mortality data set.
