[R] structured random effects

[Spencer Graves]

      Have you considered "lme"?  For applications like this, I highly 
recommend Pinheiro and Bates (2000) Mixed-Effects Models in S and S-Plus 
(Springer).  I failed to produce anything with "lme" until I read this 
book. 

      hope this helps.  spencer graves
