[R-sig-ME] Quasilikelihood considered harmful? was: Examples of GLMM fits?

[Murray Jorgensen]

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
