Model building using lmer
Dear R-experts,
Quite new to R on this end, but learning fast (I hope).
I am running version 2.7.1 on Windows Vista. I have small dataset
which consists of:
# NestID: nest indicator for each chicken. Siblings sharing the same nest have the same nest indicator.

Mixed-effects model for overdispersed count data?
Hi,
I have to analyse the number of provisioning trips to nestlings according to a number of biological and environmental factors. I was thinking of building a mixed-effects model with species and nestid as random effects, using a Poisson distribution, but the data are overdispersed (variance/mean = 5). I then thought of using a mixed-effects model with negative binomial distribution, but I have 2 problems:
1- The only package building mixed models with neg. bin. distribution I found is the packa...
