Description: Fits a multivariate value-added model (VAM), see Broatch,
        Green, and Karl (2018) <doi:10.32614/RJ-2018-033> and Broatch
        and Lohr (2012) <doi:10.3102/1076998610396900>, with normally
        distributed test scores and a binary outcome indicator. A
        pseudo-likelihood approach, Wolfinger (1993)
        <doi:10.1080/00949659308811554>, is used for the estimation of
        this joint generalized linear mixed model.  The inner loop of
        the pseudo-likelihood routine (estimation of a linear mixed
        model) occurs in the framework of the EM algorithm presented by
        Karl, Yang, and Lohr (2013) <DOI:10.1016/j.csda.2012.10.004>.
