[R] GlmmPQL help

[Spencer Graves]

	  Have you received a reply to this question?  If you still want an 
answer, please submit a much simpler, self-contained example that 
someone can copy from your email into R, examine possibly with other 
tools and offer comments in a minute or two.  Please include the output, 
labeling clearly the degrees of freedom in question, what you think the 
number should be and why.  I believe that will increase the chances that 
you will get a useful reply quickly.

	  I'm sorry I couldn't help more.
