Hi Jean --

Thanks for the reply. I have a number of data sets that require more than 30 points to obtain estimates that seem to converge using gllamm with the adapt option, so I'm a bit concerned with the 30 limit. Do you know if xtlogit does a better job of producing estimates than gllamm with fewer quadrature points specified? If not, hopefully the 30 limited will be bumped up quite a bit sometime in the future.

It is still 30.  The adaptive quadrature routine is much more flexible
in fitting the likelihood than standard Gauss-Hermite quadrature is
for the same number of quadrature points.  See [XT] quadchk for
some examples.
