Is there a function that will run a model appropriate for over dispersed data (such as a negative binomial or quasipoisson) with a random effects (or mixed effects) model in R? GLMER will not accept: family=quasipoisson(link="log") or family=negbinomial(link="log") I want to run something like the following: fit0 <- glmer(Fall ~ Group+(1|PID)+offset(log(TimeYrs)),family=quasipoisson(link="log"),data=data) Thank you John John David Sorkin M.D., Ph.D. Professor of Medicine Chief, Biostatistics and Informatics University of Maryland School of Medicine Division of Gerontology and Geriatric Medicine Baltimore VA Medical Center 10 North Greene Street GRECC (BT/18/GR) Baltimore, MD 21201-1524 (Phone) 410-605-7119 (Fax) 410-605-7913 (Please call phone number above prior to faxing)
