Alfonso S asks:
"...Can someone tell me if I am specifying the meglm command wrong? If
not, why does it not reproduce the results from xtgee?"
Apart from the fact, already pointed out by Stas Kolenikov, that
-meglm- isn't designed for use with fractional response data, Alfonso
should not, in any case, expect results of -meglm- to reproduce those
from -xtgee-. The reason is that -xtgee- fits a population-averaged
model, whereas -meglm- fits at the individual-observation level. With
a linear model the results would be the same (up to minor differences
resulting from different estimation methods and numerical issues).
But for non-linear models like logit and probit, they are
systematically different.
