Dear listers, One of my former students is trying to fit a model of the negative binomial family with lmer. In the past (two years ago), the following call was working well: m1a<-lmer(mapos~ninter+saison+milieu*zone+(1|code),family=neg.bin(0.451),REML=TRUE,data=manu) But now (R version 2.9.2 and lme4 version 0.999375-32), that gives (even with the library MASS loaded): m1a<-lmer(mapos~ninter+saison+milieu*zone+(1|code),family=neg.bin(0.451),REML=TRUE,data=manu) Error in famType(glmFit$family) : unknown GLM family: 'Negative Binomial' Any idea about what happens ?
