A SAS macro, GEECORR, has been developed for the analysis of correlated binary data based on the Prentice (1988) estimating equations method that extends the Liang and Zeger (1986) generalized estimating equations (GEE) method to include additional estimating equations for the pairwise correlation between binary variates. This extension allows for flexible modeling of both the marginal mean and within-cluster correlation as a function of their respective covariate risk factors. This paper provides an overview of the extended estimating equations method, describes the features and capabilities of the GEECORR macro, and applies the GEECORR macro to three different datasets. In addition, this paper describes the more detailed fitting algorithm proposed by Prentice (1988), of which a variation has been implemented in the GEECORR macro. We provide a small simulation study to demonstrate the efficiency of the detailed method for estimating correlation parameters.
