[R-sig-ME] Negative binomial mixed effects modeling

[Simon Blomberg]

Jim Lindsey's repeated package has function gnlmm which will fit neg-bin
mixed effects models with one level of nesting. See:

http://www.commanster.eu/rcode.html

Jim's packages are non-CRAN. There are source packages and Windows
binaries. There is also a binary package in the Debian repository, but
it currently doesn't work for R > 2.10.0.

Simon.
