Dear Tommaso, The residuals variance is fixed at 1 with the binomial family.

Trans (Intercept) 3.2313398 1.797593 Area (Intercept) 0.0000000 0.000000 Sito (Intercept) 0.0047151 0.068667 Number of obs: 480, groups: Trans, 48; Area, 12; Sito, 2 As you can see the residual variance is missing. Can anybody tell me why? Does anybody know how can I get it? Thank you for your attention, I wish somebody can help me.
