Orthogonalized Residuals: SAS macro for ORTH estimation of regression models for multivariate Bernoulli outcomes, with models for the marginal means and pairwise log odds ratios. Estimation is by the method of Orthogonalized Residuals developed by the authors. By Richard Zink and Bahjat Qaqish.

Orthogonalized Residuals with model-based Lambda: SAS macro for ORTH estimation of regression models for multivariate Bernoulli outcomes, with models for the marginal means and pairwise log odds ratios. Allows various model-based choices for lambda, including lambda=0 (alternating logisitc regression, ALR). Estimation is by the method of Orthogonalized Residuals developed by the authors.
