Dear all,
I am performing a binomial glmm analysis using the lmer function in  
the lme4 package (last release, just downloaded). I am using the  
"Laplace method".

However, I am not sure about what I should do to test for the  
significance of fixed effects in the binomial case: Is it correct to  
test a full model against a model from which I remove the fixed  
effect I want to test using the anova(mod1.lmer, mod2.lmer) method  
and then relying on the model with the lower AIC (or on the Log- 
likelihood test?)?

I thank in advance for your help!

best regards,
Achaz von Hardenberg
