Inference in Generalized linear mixed models with crossed random effects is often made cumbersome by the high-dimensional intractable integrals involved in the marginal likelihood. This article presents two inferential approaches based on the marginal composite likelihood for the normal Bradley-Terry model. The two approaches are illustrated by a simulation study to evaluate their performance. Thereafter, the asymptotic variances of the estimated variance component are compared.
