About

Maintained by Manuel KollerFirst published 2013-03-0846 releasesCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

Implements the Robust Scoring Equations estimator to fit linear mixed effects models robustly. Robustness is achieved by modification of the scoring equations combined with the Design Adaptive Scale approach.
