I'm really a beginner in Stata. I've read the help of gllamm and have
no idea on how to set it up. I would be very greatfull if anybody
could help me with this.
Following the help, I think it would be something like this:
gllamm Y Z C Csquared, link(logit) fam(binom) i(V001)
V001: the cluster to which each individual belongs to in my data (DHS).
pwi: the weights for each individual
But how could I manage with the correlation between C and e (the error
term of the latent variable Y*)??

>> If you do the estimation m,anually by substituting the predicted value of a predictor into an equation for the second-stage estimation, the software will treat that predicted value as a true observed value, ignoring the fact that there is some uncertainty surrounding the prediction in the first stage. Consequently the second-stage estimation is going to produce estimates with standard errors that are too small. A question that one might ask is why you want to do this manually.
