Quasilikelihood considered harmful? was: Examples of GLMM fits?
Doug's response indicates a certain scepticism about quasilikelihood and it's use in modelling. I am quite interested in this question and may even get around to attempting some theoretical work about it. What I would like to know about literature and discussions critical of QL and its role in modelling. I think I am generally aware of pro-QL literature. Cheers, Murray Jorgensen

I will leave it to others more skilled than I to decide how to formulate parameter estimates for fictitious distributions. I have enough trouble working in the non-fiction end of statistical theory.
