I am running a series of candidate mixed models using lmer (package lme4)
and I'd like to be able to compile a list of the AIC scores for those
models so that I can quickly summarize and rank the models by AIC. When I
do logistic regression, I can easily generate this kind of list by creating
the model objects using glm, and doing:
> md <- c("md1.lr", "md2.lr", "md3.lr")
> aic <- c(md1.lr$aic, md2.lr$aic, md3.lr$aic)
> aic2 <- cbind(md, aic)
but when I try to extract the AIC score from the model object produced by
lmer I get:
> md1.lme$aic
NULL
Warning message:
In md1.lme$aic : $ operator not defined for this S4 class, returning NULL
So... How do I query the AIC value out of a mixed model object created by
lmer?
