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
