[Alessandro Moscatelli]

The referee may have this article in mind:

 Zhang H, Lu N, Feng C, Thurston SW, Xia Y, Zhu L, Tu XM. On fitting
generalized linear mixed-effects models for binary responses using different
statistical packages. Stat Med. 2011 Jun 10. doi: 10.1002/sim.4265. [Epub ahead
of print] PubMed PMID: 21671252; PubMed Central PMCID: PMC3175267.

when he ask for a "validated statistical package (SAS, STATA, SPSS) as
lme4 is known not to be the best". Hope this can help you with the
answer!
