Quasi Poisson for glmm

Dear Faith,

I missed to see you have a proportion response. The negative binomial is a
(better) alternative for the quasi Poisson. But they assume count data.
What kind of proportions do you have? Is it based on a number of successes
for a number of trials (binomial, beta binomial)? Or a continuous value
between 0 and 1 (beta)?
