Though morbidity in children living in low-income countries is commonly characterized by more than one health condition, studies to determine the determinants of child morbidity usually study one of the illnesses or a combination of the illnesses, but independently, thus ignoring possible dependencies. In many such cases a multivariate regression approach would be appropriate. Thus, in this paper, we specifically aimed at comorbidity among under-five children using joint response model that accommodates the interdependence between three illnesses (Diarrhoea, Acute Respiratory Infection (ARI) and fever) in assessing their risk factors. We considered child illness as a trivariate binary outcome (Y1, Y2, Y3) and carried out a trivariate copula...
