Several sampling designs for assessing agreement between two binary classifications on each of n subjects lead to data arrayed in a four-fold table. Following Kraemer's (1979, Psychometrika 44, ...

At the same time, complex sampling designs, such as stratified random sampling, are becoming increasingly popular for designing case–control studies, especially for recruiting controls.

In this article, we consider estimation of parameters of random effects models from samples collected via complex multistage designs. Incorporation of sampling weights is one way to reduce estimation ...
