Dear Mixed Modellers,

One method for fitting models with random effects and latent variables
is by writing the model in the open-source program ADMB and running it
using the R package R2admb (
http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/R2admb/vignettes/R2admb.pdf ).

This can be helpful when fitting nonlinear models that are more
complicated than GLMMs (
http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/2041-210X.12044/full ). Also,
the R package glmmADMB was written using ADMB (
http://glmmadmb.r-forge.r-project.org ).

If you are interested in learning this program, I would like to bring an
upcoming workshop to your attention. It will be held at the
International Statistical Ecology Conference in Montpellier, France at
the end of June http://isec2014.sciencesconf.org/resource/page/id/15

Sorry to spam you with something that is only tangentially related to R,
but I think it's useful.

Thank you,
Mollie
