[R-sig-eco] GEE and AIC

[BriAnne Addison]

This is tangential to the previous string.

Has anyone calculated (pseudo)AIC values for generalized estimation 
equations in the GEE package (or related packages)?  I wish to compare 
among several models where the data are not phylogenetically 
independent.  I plan to use GEE to account for my phylogeny, rather 
than conventional contrast values, because I have a relatively small 
sample size and a variety of continuous and multilevel discrete 
factors.  The statistical problem is analogous to data which is 
spatially autocorrelated.  Thoughts?

Thanks,
BriAnne
