I read your message too casually, and failed to notice the attachments.
The issues may be that levels of `period` are not balanced within levels of
`herd`, either in `cbpp` or in `X`. The following works:
library(lme4)
fit <- glmer(cbind(incidence, size - incidence) ~ 0 + period + (1 | herd),
family = binomial, data = cbpp)
X <- subset(data.frame(herd=factor(rep(1:30,each=4)),size=rep(40,120),
period=factor(rep(1:4,30))), herd==1)
X[,'herd'] <- rep(factor('new'),nrow(X))
s.mer1 <- simulate(fit,newdata=X,allow.new.levels=TRUE)
