[R-sig-ME] ordinal response: GLMM in LME4

[ONKELINX, Thierry]

I think that clmm from the ordinal package is more suitable for that kind of response.

Best regards,

Thierry

Onderwerp: [R-sig-ME] ordinal response: GLMM in LME4

I am running repeated measurement mixed models, my response variable is
ordered, I'm trying to run GLMMs in LME4.
The variables are highly skewed (40% "0", 30% "1", 20% "2", 10% "3"), 0
refers to "never within the last week", 1 to "one around two days within
the last week", 2 to 4 days, 3 to "nearly on all days".

How does one treat this response variable in terms of family and link
function in GLMM in LME4?

And: is there more information about GLMM in LME4 except for the 2011
presentation (http://lme4.r-forge.r-project.org/slides/2011-01-11-Madison)?
GLMMs are not addressed in the current 4 chapters of the LME4 handbook.

Thank you
