[R-sig-ME] Vignette on using Julia MixedModels from R

[Douglas Bates]

Many users experience long execution times and convergence warnings when
trying to fit complex linear mixed-effects models with lmer.  I have, in
the past, shown that such models can be fit using the MixedModels (
https://github.com/dmbates/MixedModels.jl) package for Julia (
https://julialang.org) and that the data can be pulled from an R
representation using either the RCall (
https://github.com/JuliaInterop/RCall.jl) or RData (
https://github.com/JuliaData/RData.jl).

Recently the JuliaCall package for R (
https://github.com/Non-Contradiction/JuliaCall) has become available on
CRAN.  I have a short note at http://rpubs.com/dmbates/377897 on how to use
that package to fit models using MixedModels from R.
