st: gllamm and pweights with link(log)

["Hillel Alpert" <HALPERT@hsph.harvard.edu>]

If Dr. Rabe-Hesketh sees this list, I shall be grateful if she could kindly address. Is it "small bug", or something else needed to run this model in gllamm?

I suspect you uncovered a small bug that comes up with this specific
combination of options. You'd be best off figuring this out with
Sophia Rabe-Hesketh, the author of GLLAMM.

As a follow-up to this question, I understand now that the link(log) function provides the risk ratios. However, the gllamm command does not accept pweights with this link function. Can anyone advise how probability weights could be incorporated into such an analysis?

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Could someone advise please, does GLLAMM provide relative risk ratios as output?
With the following command, for example, the exponentiated output is given. Is it the odds ratio, and if so, what is the syntax for relative risk ratio?

gllamm depvar var1-var6, i(id) family(binomial) link(logit) pweight(weight) nip(8) adapt eform

Thank you for any information.
