Good morning,

I'm trying to fit a very simple model: the proportion of occupied nest boxes according to food availability on a time serie (37 years). The problem is that the glm (binomial error family with logit link) presents a marked overdispersion ( ~ 24). Checking the residuals showed me they are correlated with a lag of 3 years (preys have cyclic population dynamic) and accounting for this temporal correlation will certainly improve the model. I know how to cope with this with glmmPQL (with a corARMA correlation structure) but I "cheat" a bit given I don't really need random effect.

Is there a way to specify such correlation structure with gee or geepack ? Any link to a pdf or webpage explaining the "how to" would be appreciated...

Best regards

Alex
