Dear all, I am performing a binomial glmm analysis using the lmer function in the lme4 package (last release, just downloaded). I am using the "Laplace method".
However, I am not sure about what I should do to test for the significance of fixed effects in the binomial case: Is it correct to test a full model against a model from which I remove the fixed effect I want to test using the anova(mod1.lmer, mod2.lmer) method and then relying on the model with the lower AIC (or on the Log- likelihood test?)? I thank in advance for your help! best regards, Achaz von Hardenberg ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -------------------------------- Centro Studi Fauna Alpina - Alpine Wildlife Research Centre Servizio Sanitario e della Ricerca Scientifica Parco Nazionale Gran Paradiso, Degioz, 11, 11010-Valsavarenche (Ao), Italy E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Skype: achazhardenberg Tel.: +39.0165.905783 Fax: +39.0165.905506 Mobile: +39.328.8736291 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -------------------------------- [[alternative HTML version deleted]] ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
