Dear Sebastian and Doug,
I don't quite understand, is it the data sets in Applied Longitudinal Analysis that is wanted? If so, I made a search on "fitzmaurice applied longitudinal analysis data set" and found some data sets on http://biosun1.harvard.edu/~fitzmaur/ala/ (the homepage of what I assume is the "book"). Or is it the syntax of the analyses that you (Sebastian) wants?
I knew of the site with the data sets and had planned to create an R package for the data sets but then I ran out of steam. ?(I'm better at starting projects than at finishing them.) ?In my message I intended to say that if anyone else wanted to create an R package of the data sets and perhaps sample analyses corresponding to those in the book I would be happy to support them. ?To avoid potential confusion, I would be happy to remove the project that I had started but not finished.
Yes, I was looking for some worked examples using lme4 to learn more about the syntax in lme4 as I read the book, since I'm more used to nlme. ?I can volunteer to package the data sets first, and later include some analyses from the book with some help for sure. AFAICS, there are no files at all in the R-Forge project AppLong. Should I start this as another R-Forge project/package, perhaps naming it ALA (to follow the convention at CRAN from this kind of package), or keep the project Dr. Bates started and develop there?
I am happy to have you be added to the AppLong project. If you have an R-forge login then please look up the AppLong project and click on the "request to join" link.
