Dear R-Pros,
I have count data in which 6-10 points are nested within 17 larger units
(which are nested within 3 larger-still units) plus a number of
covariates. It could be nested ANCOVA but for poisson family. Could
someone kindly advise me 1) if lmer is the correct function for the
analysis?
Hi Deborah,
A very good source for hands-on information on mixed models in S is:
Mixed-effects models in S and S-PLUS by Pinheiro and Bates
Incidentally, it's available in your university's library
