A very quick (and possibly silly) question for mixed modelers. Certain
metrics such as Nagelkerke's R2 and the sample size adjusted AICc
require the user to specify the sample size. What is the appropriate
sample size to use in a mixed model where you might have hundreds of
repeat samples on a smaller sample of sites (in this case, the sites are
treated as the random factor)? In my case, the lmer output will produce
the following information: Number of obs: 10091, groups: ID, 444. For
calculating sample size adjusted statistics, would you use an effective
sample size of 444? Thank you.
