[R-sig-ME] lme4 package

[Alejandro Izaguirre]

My name is Alejandro Izaguirre, I am an economist specialized in spatial
data analysis. I use linear mixed  models for estimating poverty maps.
I have a question about the *lme4* package, specifically about lmer. I
usually work with informative sampling designs and I would like to know if
the command *"weights"* in *lmer* stands for sampling weights. There are
discussions on the internet about this, and I would like to ask you for
some clarifications.

Thank you very much.

regards,

Alejandro Izaguirre
