Hi all, 
  I am trying to test the significance of the random effect in the following model but I didn't find the way to do that.
I think that I can do it with LRT, removing the random effect and comparing both models, but an error appears...
  Can anybody help me with that?

  Thanks,
  Silvina Fenoglio
