[R-sig-ME] Measure of influence for lmer models

[Jenn Barrett]

Thanks Dennis.

That package came close to what I'm trying to do, and was very useful at identifying influential levels of the grouping factor. I'm wondering if there is a way to do the same calculations for individual observations though...any thoughts?

Thanks again! 

Cheers,
Jenn

Hi: 

Try the influence.ME package at CRAN. Its description file says: 
Tools for detecting influential data in mixed effects models 

HTH,

Hi everyone, 

My colleague and I recently fit a linear mixed effects model with lmer(), and after looking at the results, my supervisor is interested in having me examine the influence of individual observations (he suspects that there may be a couple high leverage points); however, I'm at a loss on how to do this with a "mer" object. Is there a function/method for computing Cook's distance, leverage plots or some other measure of influence for "mer" objects? I've searched the forum, but have only come across unanswered questions. 

Thanks in advance. 

Jenn
