[R] linear mixed effects models with breakpoints

[Spencer Graves]

      Are you familiar with how to include include the desired serial 
correlation structure in 'lme', ignoring the breakpoint question?  If 
no, please consult Pinheiro and Bates (2000) Mixed-Effects Models in S 
and S-Plus (Springer)?  If yes, it should be a relatively easy matter to 
add that to the 'lmeChgPt' function. 

      If you'd like further help from this listserve, please provide 
commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code, as suggested in 
the posting guide "www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html". 

      Hope this helps.
