I am trying to get the coefficients returned from lmer. Normally I
would use the names function to get the objects returned by the
function. This does not work in lmer, but it does for lm:
When you read the help page for lmer it refers your to the description
of "mer"-class where that help page tells you that it is an S4 object
and offers a wide variety of extractor method functions, including a
coef function. The str function would have shown you the slot names,
but at your level of knowledge, it would probably be safer to work
with the extractor/accessor functions. (I speak from sad experience.
The authors of that package know a lot more than either of us.)

<- lmer(Reaction ~ Days + (1|Subject) + (0+Days|Subject), sleepstudy)
names(fm2)
NULL
fitlm <- lm(Reaction ~ Days, sleepstudy)
names(fitlm)
[1] "coefficients" "residuals" "effects" "rank"
[5] "fitted.values" "assign" "qr" "df.residual"
[9] "xlevels" "call" "terms" "model"
How does one know what is returned by lmer, and how does one access
the various parts? I looked at the code for lmer, but at least on my
level of R sophistication, the nature of the data returned in not
clear.
Thanks,
