Re: [R] Mixed effects model with a phylogenetic tree/ distance, matrix as a random effect
Take a look at lmekin() in the coxme package. The motivating data set for my development of coxme was the Minnesota Family Breast Cancer project: 24050 subjects in 462 families. The random effect is an intercept per subject with sigma^2 K as its variance where K is the kinship matrix (1 for self-self, .5 for parent-child or sib-sib, .25 for uncle-neice, etc). lmekin is a linear models front end to the same underlying routines. I think you want lmekin(y ~ x1 + x2 + (1| subject), data=yourdata, varlist= D) or some such, where D is the similarity or correlation form of you distance matrix. A downside is that lmekin is sort of the poor cousin to comxe -- with finite time I've never gotton around to writing predict, residuals, plot, ... methods for it. The basic fit is fine though.

Alternatively you could try the r-sig-ph...@r-project.org mailing list, although I think I would try R-s-m-m first.

The troubles I've had are that: 1. Function lmer() in package lme4 only accepts a data frame column as a random factor and not a distance matrix. This is not going to change in the near future, although there is a 'pedigreemm' package built on lme4 that might do what you want. You might be able to use MASS::glmmPQL in conjunction with the corStruct structures from nlme (for classical geostatistical correlation models); ape (for phylogenetic models); or ramps (other choices). INLA might ??? allow tree correlation structures: http://arxiv.org/abs/1210.4908 Ives and Garland have some MATLAB code for phylogenetic logistic regression ... 2.
