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
