There is little guidance or explanation in any of the documentation for choosing the appropriate fit method when using fitlme or fitglme. The terminology also differs from the other mainly used implementations (in R, SAS, etc.), making it difficult to ascertain what exactly MATLAB's approach even is or how closely results should reflect those produced by other software.
Can anyone here explain in which situations, for example, I would use 'ApproximateLaplace' fit method over 'Laplace'?
