Summary: well written account of mixed models with SPlus software
Review: Mixed effects linear models are very useful particularly in medical research (e.g. device or drug trials). Pinheiro and Bates provide comprehensive cover of both linear and nonlinear mixed effects models with many applications. Implementation is illustrated using the S programming language and the software package SPlus.

Bates is an expert on nonlinear regression and hence the emphasis on the nonlinear models as well as the linear ones.
