Hi All, does anyone know if the package GLME by J. Pinheiro is available anywhere in any form? checking on the archive I got that it was at some point, as as a beta version (for S-Plus only, alas)...

You can fit a generalized linear mixed model in R using function glmmPQL from package MASS. Saikat DebRoy and I will release version 0.2 of the lme4 package that also implements PQL parameter estimation for GLMMs. In July we will release the 0.3 version that provides both PQL and PQL followed by maximum likelihood based on second-order Laplace approximation. The 0.4 release (not yet scheduled) will provide maximum likelihood using adaptive Gauss-Hermite quadrature.
