Ben Bolker has an interesting paper (outline of a paper) comparing different approaches to estimate GLMM in R environment, which is very helpful to what I am doing right now.Want to share your content on R-bloggers? click here if you have a blog, or here if you don't.
The paper pointed out the following options to fit GLMM using R:
- glmer
- glmmML
- glmm (from the repeated package)
- glmmADMB
- MCMCglmm
- glmmBUGS
- glmmPQL
- BUGS (through R2WinBUGS)
- glmmAK
And I would like to add one more, npmlreg.
I am not aware of the glmmAK package before. From the first glance, it seems to be very promising in the sense that it seems to allow non-Gaussian random effect in a Bayesian framework, something similar to what npmlreg does with ML method.

DPpackage is another package that can estimate GLMM in a Bayesian framework.

ASReml/ASReml-R is another choice. It is not free software, but it does seem to have some unique strengths. Maybe I should download a demo copy and try it myself.

hglm is another possibility.
