Sorry, i was wrong. I want say lme4 package. But "glmer(...,family=binomial(link="identity")) " give me same results as "glmer(...,family=binomial(link="logit")) " Why? I want interpret the coefficients as risk difference and not OR Thank you very much Davide
[cc'ing back to r-sig-mixed-models: it's best to keep these conversations on-list] It's hard to say without a reproducible example <http://tinyurl.com/reproducible-000>. I made up an example that seemed to work, sort of -- at least it showed that I do *not* get the same results. With the stable version of lme4, the fit worked with the default (logit) link and failed with the identity link (although apparently for reasons of numerical instability, not because it's impossible to fit such models). With the development version (latest version from github), both worked, and the identity link results seem to have correctly estimated the parameters (I can tell because the data were simulated).

Hi, I'm phd student in medical statistics. I would like know the R-way to perform the identity link (family=binomial)

lmer (ade4 package). How about glmer(...,family=binomial(link="identity")) ? See ?family in base R. Warning: this is likely to be fragile (as fitting with non-standard link functions often is).
