glmer
Explanation:
It's a piece of computer code, specifically a function in the LME4 statistical package for the R environment.

Such things can't be translated. I haven't checked, but I think that although this package may well have a Spanish-language user interface, they're certainly not going to translate the names of functions, which would mean changing a lot of code.

The "glm" part stands for generalized linear model.

"lme4 includes generalized linear mixed model (GLMM) capabilities, via the glmer function."

LME seems to stand for linear mixed effects, according to the document I've cited.

agree  neilmac: I keep getting things form one client that contain bits of code like this and I have to keep asking if they are acronyms or have to be translated or not. CamelText is a pain too.....
