Hello, my name is Neil Templeton and I am a graduate student at the
University of Montana. I am advising another student who is working with a
longitudinal data set which has clustered observations with repeated
measures. Specifically, the data was taken at "points" which are nested
within "transects", with 4 to 10 points per transect. Most transects were
sampled over a number of years, typically 4 to 6. The response variable is
binary, the presence or absence of a bird specie. I feel the appropriate way
to model the transect and time elements are as random effects, but I
understand the S-PLUS random effects routines are for quantitative response
variables only. Are there S-PLUS routines available for logistic regression
with random effects? Thank you very much, Neil.
