Longitudinal Joint Modelling of Binary and Continuous Outcomes: A Comparison of Bridge and Normal Distributions by Payam Amini, Geert Verbeke, Farid Zayeri, Hossein Mahjub, Saman Maroufizadeh, Abbas Moghimbeigi

“…Conclusion: In addition to the fact that assuming a bridge distribution for the random intercept in binary logistic regression yields to the same interpretation of parameter estimates in marginal and conditional forms, our study revealed that even if the random intercept of binary logistic regression is normally distributed, assuming a Bridge distribution in the model will result in more accurate results.  …”
