Mike Smithson and I have extended beta regression to the mixed
case---we're working on a paper on that but it's not in good enough
shape to send out yet. I don't have a Stata formulation for it, but it's
possible to do in SAS via NLMIXED and also using MCMC. I can't imagine
it would be that hard to port to Stata but I can't do it at present.
Based on several simulation studies the beta mixed model worked very
well. I have done several analyses of real data and it worked nicely on
that too.
As to a history of the logit function in psychology, take a look at the
book: Stephen Link. (1992) The Wave Theory of Difference and Similarity.
