Abstract
A parametric robust approach for analyzing correlated count data is introduced. This method enables one to construct an asymptotically valid likelihood for the regression parameter when knowledge about the joint distribution for data is scarce or not available. We use simulations and real data analysis to demonstrate the merit of the proposed robust likelihood method.
