citable references for profile likelihood CIs

Hi Jake, As a teaching article, this is nice: http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/00031305.1995.10476112#.U4beUx1dWtY Cheers, Josh

Hello list,
I am writing up the results from an analysis involving mixed models, and I am considering including the profile likelihood confidence intervals (as computed by confint.merMod() in lme4 package) for all parameter estimates in the manuscript. Does anyone have suggestions for good references I can cite that explain basically how it works and why profile CIs are a Good Thing? All justificationary purposes aside, I would actually be interested in reading some of these myself.

Hi Jake, Meyer (2008. Likelihood calculations to evaluate experimental designs to estimate genetic variances. Heredity. 101:212-221) makes a rather compelling case for using profile likelihood CIs and does a good job explaining them. Sincerely, Matthew ....................................................

If you're writing for a sufficiently naive audience (e.g. typical ecologists), I will be bold enough to suggest Chapter 6 of Bolker 2008 (_Ecological Models and Data in R_) ... not very rigorous though (and not available online via university libraries).
