I've got a colleague who's using a GLMM to analyse her data, and I've told her that she needs to include an offset. However, glmmPQL doesn't seem to allow one to be included. Is there anyway of doing this? Bob -- Bob O'Hara Rolf Nevanlinna Institute P.O.

I have uploaded the 0.2-4 release of lme4 to CRAN. Please wait a few days for it to be transferred to the packages directory and for a Windows package to be created then try it. Remember to check for version 0.2-4 or later.
Bob, glmmPQL certainly allows offsets (have a look at the code). Use the offset function in the fixed effects formula. James.
