Hello!

So, my problem is following. I have bird offspring growth data and I'd 
like to model individual growth curves (aim is to study asymptotes and 
inflection points) with nlme according to Pinheiro & Bates 2000: first using 
nlsList to generate individual curves and then nlme to study the 
parameters and fixed effects. The data is structured to two levels. I 
have broods and individuals within the broods. Problems arise if I specify 
the groupedData object to have two levels. Running of the nlme gives me an 
error message "can't run the model with multiple levels", or something 
alike..

Is there a way around this or should I start looking fo another way of 
analysing the data?

Thank you for your time.
