Hi Thanks for your help - however if I have a model of: mod1<-lmer(B~ A+C+(A|bird), family=quasibinomial)
coef then gives me an individual slope for factors A and C. However the random effect is only nested within factor - so I am only trying to allow the slope to vary in relation to effect A Many Thanks Sam Dr Samantha Patrick EU INTERREG Post Doc Davy 618 Marine Biology & Ecology Research Centre University of Plymouth Plymouth PL4 8AA T: 01752 586165 M: 07740472719 -----Original Message----- From: Darin A.

The first column is the intercept for each bird and the second column is the slope for each bird. ranef(mod1) will also give you a matrix of two columns. These represent the random effects. That is, how much the intercept (or slope) is shifted from overall mean.
