[ADMB Users] glmmadmb in R

[Mollie Brooks]

This is an example of the trouble that can happen when the same information is in multiple locations and people (understandably) only have the energy to update the information in a subset of the locations. 

I guess the information at http://admb-project.org/examples/r-stuff/glmmadmb is not current. I'll try to fix this.
