The generalized linear mixed model (GLMM) extends classical regression analysis to non-normal, correlated response data. Because inference for GLMMs can be computationally difficult, simplifying distributional assumptions are often made. We focus on the robustness of estimators when a main component of the model, the random-effects distribution, is misspecified. Results for the maximum likelihood estimators (MLEs) of the Poisson-inverse Gaussian model are presented.
