[R-sig-ME] glmmPQL inquiry

Hi Sundar/Ken,
I would like to clarify my inquiry. The data structure i gave was just a sample of my data. I actually have 50 subjects each with three binary observations (hence 150 observations). So the error i initially gave emanates from the analysis involving all the 50 subjects. It just turns out that for the sample i gave, the first two subjects have only 0 as their entries but this varies as you look through the data.
I am using the latest version of R i.e 2.6.1 and i downloaded the nlme version currently available on the CRAN website. I am aslo assuming my random part is the intercept.
Hope this clarifies my inquiry.

Hi, Kennedy,
You have not given us enough information:
1. Result from sessionInfo (includes MASS version assuming glmmPQL is
from MASS, nlme version, and R version)
2. Realistic data - your example data has y == 0 always. You will never
produce a realistic model for these observations. And if I fake it and
assign some ones to "y" the code you provide works.
library(MASS)
navs <- read.table(con <- textConnection("t id y x0 x1 x2 x3
1 1 0 0 0 1 1
2 1 0 0 1 0 1
3 1 0 0 1 0 1
1 2 0 0 0 1 0
2 2 0 1 1 1 0
3 2 1 1 1 1 0"), header = TRUE) ## last row has a 1
close(con)
fit <- glmmPQL(y~x1+x2+x3, random=~1|id, family=binomial, data=navs)
