So your respons variable behaves like a continuous variable except that
is range is limited to the 0-1 interval. In such a case I would
transform the respons variable (e.g. logit, sqrt(arcsin())) and use a
gaussian model.

To call in the statistician after the experiment is done may be no more
than asking him to perform a post-mortem examination: he may be able to
say what the experiment died of.
~ Sir Ronald Aylmer Fisher

The plural of anecdote is not data.
~ Roger Brinner

The combination of some data and an aching desire for an answer does not
ensure that a reasonable answer can be extracted from a given body of
data.
~ John Tukey
