_pi is the number pi. I think this is the variance of logistic
distribution, although it might be _pi^2/3, I am not quite sure.
Again, I would be happy with the fixed effects for the size, as long
as you only have three levels here. By making it fixed effects, you
would also substantially simplify the work for -gllamm-, so that it
will run much faster.
