I suggest that you discuss this issue on the R-SIG-Mixed-Models at ... mailing list to which I have cc:'d this reply. Several people who read that list know more about overdispersion than I do. On Fri, Nov 4, 2011 at 5:05 PM, Asa Johannesen <bsaj at ...> wrote:
Hi, I'm a PhD student using a binomial glmer model and I added an observation
level random effect to account for
overdispersion (seeing as I can't use a quasi-family) and now my supervisor is
asking me if I have a
reference saying this is a good way of doing that. I only have the R-help file
example, but that seems a bit
slim. Could you perhaps point me in the right direction?
