Abstract
Interviewer variability in a binary response is an example of a problem requiring variance component estimation in a non-normal family. The maximum likelihood estimation procedure is derived and used to examine some binary items on a large questionnaire. This raises some interesting questions about the use of unbalancedANOVAmethods with these data.
