R help - Dec 2003 - intraclass correlation

Hi,


Can R calculate an intraclass correlation coefficient for clustered data,
when the outcome variable is dichotomous?
By now I calculate it by hand, estimating between- and intracluster variance
by one-way ANOVA - however I don't feel very comfortable about this, since
the distributional assumptions are not really met....
Maybe anyone can help me?

Best regards and many many thanks,

I have been using a little function I wrote myself; look at
http://www.unc.edu/home/aperrin/tips/src/icc.R for the code.  Not pretty,
but it works.
