[R-sig-ME] A three-level GLMM with binomial link in R

[Phillip Alday]

Since memory seems to be the issue, I would also second trying
MixedModels.jl, which has a somewhat more compact representation of
things that lme4.

If you have a minimal R script, we can get set up with the equivalent
minimal Julia script pretty quickly.
