 \description{
-Fits a negative binomial generalized linear mixed model using truncated power basis function splines as input. The basis matrix can be created adaptively using subject-specific estimation of optimal knots using \code{\link{marge2}}, or basis functions can be evenly space across quantiles. The resulting model can output subject-specific and population-level fitted values.
