Can xtmixed be used to estimate multilevel growth model with AR(1)

Mixed in SAS? A quick glance on the manualI did not find  any
discussion on this topic. Thanks!

It doesn't seem like any such patterned covariance structures are built in.
Haven't thought about it much, but is there any chance that you could set up
a block-diagonal structure with or without the use of -eqn- or -constraint-
to get what you want?

As for first-up enhancements to -xtmixed-, I vote for denominator degrees of
freedom calculations (esp., Kenward-Roger) over further patterned covariance
structures, implementing a -robust-/cluster()- option, or building upon it
with GLM-like transformations � la PROC GLIMMIX.
