Dear all,
I found a problem with 'lme4'. Basically, once you load the package 'aod' (Analysis of Overdispersed Data), the functions 'lmer' and 'glmer' don't work anymore:
library(lme4)
(fm1 <- lmer(Reaction ~ Days + (Days|Subject), sleepstudy))
(gm1 <- glmer(cbind(incidence, size - incidence) ~ period + (1 | herd),
family = binomial, data = cbpp))
install.packages("aod")
library(aod)
(fm1 <- lmer(Reaction ~ Days + (Days|Subject), sleepstudy))
(gm1 <- glmer(cbind(incidence, size - incidence) ~ period + (1 | herd),
family = binomial, data = cbpp))
Taking into account that this package is used to perform similar analyses, this could be a problem.
All the best

Dear all,

family = binomial, data = cbpp))
Taking into account that this package is used to perform similar analyses, this
could be a problem.
In which sense is this a bug in lme4?? I'd say that aod has the problem.
You can't write an R package so that it is guaranteed not be clobbered
by something loaded subsequently.
