## Generalized Additive Mixed Model set up.

### Description

This is an internal function of package `mgcv`. It is called by `gamm` to set up a generalized additive mixed model in a form suitable for fitting by calls to `glmmPQL` from the `MASS` library or `lme` from the `nlme` library. The main task is the representation of the smooth terms as random effects.
