Hello.
I'm running a generalized linear model and am interested in using the
random effects that are output for further analysis. My random effect is
interacting with two different fixed effects (which which are factors with
two levels each). When I retrieve the random effects I get something like
this:
(Intercept)    nutrient  (Intercept)        light  (Intercept)
 Aa-0       0.59679192  0.34824858  2.241424479 -2.335037842  0.775359364
 Ag-0      -2.73719135  2.10428715 -0.980046942 -1.832587350 -1.938942967
 Ak-1      -0.13221525  1.03282635 -0.624239559  1.594044342  0.313188938
 Alc-0      1.16506640 -0.05914007  1.964024728 -1.133954211  1.190791025
 ALL1-2    -1.06702524 -0.55728016 -0.019232427 -2.389703709 -1.357733079
 Alst-1    -1.59281754  0.23968834 -1.506568899 -0.280839171 -1.558589679
 Amel-1     0.46083213 -0.02787653  0.885634543 -0.632460142  0.469048098

So...3 intercepts and two values for the interaction terms.
My questions are:
Which one is the straight-up intercept for the random term itself?
How do I get the predictor/estimate (basically, the BLUP) for the different
interaction levels?
Thanks,
Ginnie
