An adjustment for marginal composite likelihoods is derived to match the second-order theory of the likelihood when inference is for a vector-valued parameter in the absence of nuisance components. The adjustment overcomes the failure of Bartlett identities for marginal composite likelihoods and leads to a Bartlett-correctable marginal composite likelihood ratio statistic.

Abstract
An adjustment for marginal composite likelihoods is derived to match the second-order theory of the likelihood when inference is for a vector-valued parameter in the absence of nuisance components. The adjustment overcomes the failure of Bartlett identities for marginal composite likelihoods and leads to a Bartlett-correctable marginal composite likelihood ratio statistic.
