[R-sig-ME] Model comparison using BIC, AIC, -2Log

[Luis Orlindo Tedeschi]

Thanks Mike... and I thought it would have a single answer... I glanced
over the link you provided; it will take me some time to digest it. My
current problem is comparing a model with variable A as random effect vs
a model with variable A as fixed effect. It gets vary confusing. Thanks
again. Luis

Take a look at http://wiki.r-project.org/rwiki/doku.php?id=guides:lmer-tests and also look through the archives of this list, e.g. the thread entitled "[R-sig-ME] interpreting significance from lmer results for dummies (like me)"
