[R-sig-ME] glmer ordered response models

[Doran, Harold]

I don't believe you are wrong, Jarrod. glmer, AFAIK, does not have links for ordered logit/probit or multinomial links

Hi,

Just to avoid confusion - "ordinal" is the family argument for ordered  
response models in MCMCglmm not "categorical".  If your response has  
two levels then it makes no difference (except "categorical" uses the  
logit link and "ordinal" uses the probit link). You can fit this in  
glmer using  family = "binomial(link="logit") or family =  
"binomial(link="probit"). If there are more than two levels I think it  
is not possible to fit the model in glmer, but could be wrong.

Cheers,

Jarrod
