Aug 25, 2014 at 0:48 comment added usεr11852 Have you asked this in the R-sig-ME list ([email protected])? Some people might be able to help you there further. In addition: I would strongly urge you to study the paper Efficient Laplacian and Adaptive Gaussian Quadrature Algorithms for Multilevel Generalized Linear Mixed Models by Pinheiro and Chao. It contains results regarding AGQ performance as well as the linear algebra behind them. If you want to code them.... well, get ready for some serious sparse matrix decompositions. :D
Aug 24, 2014 at 22:52 comment added Glen_b Steve, can you make sure that you agree with Randel's edit? You can re-edit or roll-back.

Aug 22, 2014 at 16:51 comment added shadowtalker You're right that it's not in the "classical statistics" toolkit, but that's for outdated computational reasons rather than conceptual, philosophical, or statistical reasons. In any case if you want to take a further look at it there are decent slides here: humis.bmi.utah.edu/humis/docs/organization_1863_1330728239.pdf and a mathoverflow question here: mathoverflow.net/q/41855
Aug 22, 2014 at 16:14 comment added Steve @ssdecontrol well, I'm not sure... But all the books I checked and the lme4,ordinal R packages, do not use MCMC. So, I would like to stick with that. At least at the beginning.
Aug 22, 2014 at 16:00 comment added shadowtalker What's non-classical about MCMC to evaluate an integral?
Aug 22, 2014 at 15:57 comment added Steve @ssdecontrol thanks, MCMC is good alternative. But I would like to apply the classical approach.
Aug 22, 2014 at 15:41 comment added shadowtalker I don't have time to take a good look now but this looks like a good use for MCMC.

Improved notation to be coherent (zeta became b and some other minor); updated with a step towards (hopefully) the solution
