Hi Oliver
you once asked this question at the R help list. Hi all, I try to fit a glmm model with binomial distribution and I would to verify that the scale parameter is close to 1... the lmer function gives the following result : Estimated scale (compare to 1 ) 0.766783 But I would like to know how this estimation (0.766783) is performed, and I would like to know if it is possible to find this estimation with the different results given by the function lmer. Have you got an answer? I am now working with R 2.7.1.. This R-version does not give the scale parameter in the summary of an lmer-object. Therefore, I would like to calculate the scale parameter by hand, but I did not find out how. Thanks and best Fränzi ************************************************************************ Dr. Fränzi Korner-Nievergelt oikostat - Statistische Analysen und Beratung Ausserdorf 43 CH - 6218 Ettiswil Tel.: +41 (0) 41 980 49 22 www.oikostat.ch ************************************************************************* Schweizerische Vogelwarte CH - 6204 Sempach www.vogelwarte.ch ************************************************************************* [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
