Dear ME board,

I am fitting a nonlinear mixed model using nlmer in the lme4 package, 
and I would like to check the convergence for some of my models.  In 
particular, I would like to use glmer in the lme4a package to calculate 
the likelihood for parameter values that I give it. I see from the 
boards that using nAGQ=0 in lme4a stops the iteration and may do what I 
want.

I tried the following on my 32 bit Windows XP machine:  (I have R 
version 2.12.2 installed.)

/> install.packages("lme4a", repos="http://R-Forge.R-project.org")
Warning message:
In getDependencies(pkgs, dependencies, available, lib) :
   package 'lme4a' is not available
///
Does someone have links to:
(1) installation instructions for lme4a, and
(2) documentation for how to use it?

  I have seen messages with various instructions and various problems, 
but I am not sure I am looking at the latest.


Thanks,
Phil Chapman
