R help - Jun 2008 - prediction intervals for random effects in nlme

Dear all, 
 
This is a relist of my previous question. I noticed that some
characters were  not displayed in the previous version.
 
 
Is there a function to calculate the  prediction intervals for random
effects in non-linear mixed models? I found a way to do it for linear mixed
models but not for non-linear mixed one.
 
Many thanks
 
Bernard

Please do not send HTML mail to the list.

A discussion and a caveat by Douglas Bates for lmer/lme4 is in:

It might work in a an analogous way for non-linear fits.
