  <dc:title>Multivariate VAM Fitting</dc:title>
  <dc:title>R package RealVAMS version 0.4-6</dc:title>
  <dc:description>Fits a multivariate value-added model (VAM), see Broatch, Green, and Karl (2018) &lt;doi:10.32614/RJ-2018-033&gt; and Broatch and Lohr (2012) &lt;doi:10.3102/1076998610396900&gt;, with normally distributed test scores and a binary outcome indicator. A pseudo-likelihood approach, Wolfinger (1993) &lt;doi:10.1080/00949659308811554&gt;, is used for the estimation of this joint generalized linear mixed model.  The inner loop of the pseudo-likelihood routine (estimation of a linear mixed model) occurs in the framework of the EM algorithm presented by Karl, Yang, and Lohr (2013) &lt;DOI:10.1016/j.csda.2012.10.004&gt;.
