This study introduces a new three-level random effects model for binary data, addressing limitations in current statistical methods for complex clustered and longitudinal studies. The enhanced model accurately analyzes hierarchical data, improving upon previous approximate solutions.

Area of Science:

  • Biometry
  • Statistical modeling
  • Public health research

Background:

  • Two-level random effect models are insufficient for three-level hierarchical data common in clinical trials and prevention studies.
  • Existing methods for three-level binary data often ignore nesting or use approximations with considerable bias.
  • There is a need for accurate statistical models for complex nested data structures.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To generalize two-level random effects models to the three-level case for binary response data.
  • To develop a statistically robust method for analyzing clustered and longitudinal data with three levels of nesting.
  • To provide an accurate estimation method for complex hierarchical binary data.

Main Methods:

  • Generalization of two-level random effects probit and logistic regression models to a three-level structure.

  • Parameter estimation using full-information maximum marginal likelihood estimation (MMLE).
  • Numerical quadrature employed to approximate multiple random effects for accurate estimation.

    • Main Results:

    • The proposed three-level model effectively handles complex hierarchical data structures.
    • MMLE with numerical quadrature provides accurate parameter estimates, overcoming bias in previous methods.
    • The model was successfully illustrated using data from a smoking cessation intervention study.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed three-level random effects model offers a significant advancement for analyzing complex binary data.
    • This method provides a more accurate and reliable approach compared to traditional logistic regression or approximate solutions.
    • The model has practical applications in fields like public health and clinical research for analyzing nested data.
