[R-sig-ME] Count GLMM ms and R code

[David Atkins]

Hi all--

With several colleagues we have recently finished off a ms on 
generalized linear mixed models (GLMMs) for count outcomes, including 
zero-altered models.  We focus on longitudinal addictions data, but 
hopefully we've written in an accessible way to researchers / data 
analysts in other fields.  The R code focuses primarily on the lme4 and 
MCMCglmm packages (with a nod to a few others).

The (draft) ms, two datasets, and R code can be found:

[last ms listed at bottom of page]

We hope this might be useful generally, but perhaps particularly to 
folks on this list given the R code.

Please let me know if you come across any errors, or have suggestions 
for improvements to code (or ms!).

cheers, Dave
