[R-sig-ME] Robust SEs in GLMMs

[Tim Meehan]

Hi Sharon,

Take a look at glmmPQL in the MASS package.  This function allows you to
model a binary response, with random effects, and temporally and spatially
correlated errors.  If you model the correlations, there is less of a need
for adjusting standard errors.

Best,
Tim
