Dear R users I have built the following model m1<-lmer(y~harn+foodn+(1|ass%in%pop%in%fam),family = "quasibinomial") where y<-cbind(alive,dead) where harn and foodn are categorical factors and the random effect is a nested term to represent experimental structure e.g. Day/Block/Replicate ass= 5 level factor, pop= 2 populations per treatment factor in each assay, 7 reps per population The model can be family = quasibinomial or binomial My complete lack of understanding is in retrieving the coefficients for the fixed effects to back-transform the effects of my factors on proportional survival I get the following output: > coef(m1) $`ass %in% pop %in% fam` (Intercept) harn1 harn2 foodn2 FALSE 1.0322375 -0.1939521 0.0310434 0.810084 TRUE 0.5997679 -0.1939521 0.0310434 0.810084 Where FALSE and TRUE refer to some attribute of the random effect My hunch is that it refers to the Coefficients with (=TRUE) and without (=FALSE) the random effects? Any help appreciated
