Greetings: I am trying to find a package/solution for panel (longitudinal) data analysis. Unfortunately it seems I don't know where to start. Could somebody offer a hint?

Could > somebody offer a hint?Analysis of longitudinal data is discussed in Pinheiro and Bates (2000), "Mixed-effects Models in S and S-PLUS" (Springer), which uses the nlme package. You may also want to look at the web site for Jed Frees upcoming book "Longitudinal and Panel Data: Analysis and Applications for the Social Sciences" http://research.bus.wisc.edu/jfrees/Book/PDataBook.htm The Statistical Code section provides examples in R as well as SAS and Stata.
