Hello,
How can I 'extract' the value of a random effect's standard deviation
from an lmer model?
This number is (a rather important) part of the usual lmer() output
but I cannot figure out anywhere in str(lmer.model) where it can be
found!
I can get it from summary(lmer.model)@REmat[,4], but that 'extra' call
to summary is slowing down my program.
Obviously the model has this information in it somewhere because the
model listing contains it.
How can I get it out?
Thanks,
Daniel
