I hope you all don't mind this question, but I need help interpreting output for a linear mixed effects model output I've been trying to learn to do in R. I am new to longitudinal data analysis and linear mixed effects regression. I have a model I fitted with weeks as the time predictor, and score on an employment course as my y. I modeled score with weeks (time) and several fixed effects, sex and race. My model includes random effects. I need help understanding what the variance means. The output is the following: Random effects Group Name Variance EmpId intercept 980.236 weeks 13.562 Residual 23.256 I really appreciate the help. Thanks. Zeda [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
