[R-sig-ME] random effect latent variable model,

[Ren-Huai Huang]

Happy new year,

My question is how to replicate the following sas code in R, Julia or
other open source languages? Thanks in advance!

proc nlmixed data=input tech=dbldog qpoints=30 noad;
        ...
    model   id ~ general(loglik);
    random  latent_var ~ normal(0, 1) subject= id;
       ...
run;

Regards,

Renhuai
