[R-sig-eco] K-fold validation for glmer model

[Samhita Bose (SCIFAC-Biological Sciences)]

Hi,


I am trying to see resource selection in black tailed deer across seasons and activity state. I am fairly new to R and have used glmer function from lme4 to fit my data. I have used physical variables  (elevation, aspect and ruggedness) and vegetation classes as fixed effect and individual deer as random effect in my model. Now I want  to validate my model to test the robustness of my assumptions. I have tried using package caret but it is not supporting glmer model. Is there any R code  to conduct a k fold cross validation of a glmer model? Any help will be appreciated.


Thanks,

Samhita
