Please consider reading and obeying the posting guide

and then probably repost your question: 
--> more details; your identity?

Take a look at the lme4 package, particularly the lmer() and glmer()
functions provided in that package.

I use SAS PROC GLIMMIX to estimate generalized linear mixed model. The
procedure can estimate the scale parameter and R-side random effects of
GLMM. I wonder if I want to estimate the scale parameter and R-side random
effects in R. I wonder which function in R I should use to do that.

Thanks!
