Using Generalized Estimating Equations to Fit a Repeated Measures Logistic Regression

A longitudinal study of the health effects of air pollution on children 1 contains repeated binary measures of the wheezing status for children from Steubenville, Ohio, at ages 7, 8, 9 and 10 years, along with a fixed recording of whether or not the mother was a smoker during the first year of the study.

A subset of the study data is collected in wheeze_steubenville.sav. See the topic Sample Files for more information. Use Generalized Estimating Equations to fit a repeated measures logistic regression.
