A reproducible robust likelihood approach to inference about marginal characteristics of binary data in paired settings

We introduce a robust likelihood approach to inference about marginal distributional characteristics for paired data without modeling correlation/joint probabilities. This method is reproducible in that it is applicable to paired settings with various sizes. The virtue of the new strategy is elucidated via testing marginal homogeneity in paired triplet scenario. We use simulations and real data analysis to demonstrate the merit of our robust likelihood methodology.
