This paper describes a new approach to the estimation in a logistic regression model with two crossed random effects where special interest is in estimating the variance of one of the effects while not making distributional assumptions about the other effect. A composite likelihood is studied. For each term in the composite likelihood, a conditional likelihood is used that eliminates the influence of the random effects, which results in a composite conditional likelihood consisting of only one‐dimensional integrals that may be solved numerically. Good properties of the resulting estimator are described in a small simulation study. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
