Thanks for that info. Yes, the problem that I am currently working on involves using nlmer within the lme4a package (I now see that my message had the typo "glmer"). I also have other problems for which I would like to use lmer and glmer within lme4a.) I copied and pasted your suggested command into R, with the following results:
install.packages("lme4a",repos="http://repos.lme4.r-forge.r-project.org")
Warning: unable to access index for repository http://repos.lme4.r-forge.r-project.org/bin/windows/contrib/2.12 Warning message: In getDependencies(pkgs, dependencies, available, lib) : package ?lme4a? is not available
Oops, my mistake. How about
install.packages("lme4a",repos="http://lme4.r-forge.r-project.org/repos")
instead?
(See <http://lme4.r-forge.r-project.org/>) for general info, including
the correct form of this incantation.)

Dear ME board,
I am fitting a nonlinear mixed model using nlmer in the lme4 package,
and I would like to check the convergence for some of my models. In
particular, I would like to use glmer in the lme4a package to calculate
the likelihood for parameter values that I give it. I see from the
boards that using nAGQ=0 in lme4a stops the iteration and may do what I
want.
I tried the following on my 32 bit Windows XP machine: (I have R
version 2.12.2 installed.)
/> install.packages("lme4a", repos="http://R-Forge.R-project.org")
Warning message:

Does someone have links to:
(1) installation instructions for lme4a, and
(2) documentation for how to use it?
I have seen messages with various instructions and various problems,
but I am not sure I am looking at the latest.
Do you mean using nlmer in the lme4a package?
Try
install.packages("lme4a",repos="http://repos.lme4.r-forge.r-project.org")
and see if that works.
