<p>I have been reviewing our quasi-related threads, and have edited the wiki excerpt of <a href="https://stats.stackexchange.com/questions/tagged/quasi-likelihood" class="post-tag" title="show questions tagged &#39;quasi-likelihood&#39;" rel="tag">quasi-likelihood</a> to read:</p>

<blockquote>
  <p>In GLMs, quasi-likelihood estimation is a way to allow over- or under-dispersion by choosing an appropriate variance function. It's often used for count data, e.g. in quasi-binomial or quasi-Poisson models; there it does not correspond to any actual count distribution. </p>

<p>I would suggest to make <a href="https://stats.stackexchange.com/questions/tagged/quasi-binomial" class="post-tag" title="show questions tagged &#39;quasi-binomial&#39;" rel="tag">quasi-binomial</a>×13 and <code>[quasi-poisson]</code> (currently not existing) synonyms of this more general <code>[quasi-likelihood]</code> tag. I don't think we have enough threads to warrant splitting this into narrow sub-tags.</p>

<p>In fact, I was going to manually retag all <code>[quasi-binomial]</code> questions into <code>[quasi-likelihood]</code>+<code>[binomial]</code>, but @Glen_b suggested to raise it on Meta, and it's probably a good idea to have these synonym mappings anyway.</p>
