Hi Ricardo,

INLA should be able to do this. See the following web page
http://www.r-inla.org/models/likelihoods for a list of likelihoods
implemented in INLA. In my experience it is very flexible and other
likelihoods can be added pretty quickly.


There's a bit of a learning curve, but I think it's worth it. You might
want to check out the following papers for a friendly introduction:

Illian, J. B. et al. 2013. Fitting complex ecological point process models
with integrated nested Laplace approximation. Methods in Ecology and
Evolution, doi:10.1111/2041-210x.12017

Beguin, J., et al (2012) Hierarchical analysis of spatially autocorrelated
ecological data using integrated nested Laplace approximation. Methods in
Ecology and Evolution 3, 921-929, doi:10.1111/j.2041-210X.2012.00211.x



Cheers
Robi
