[R-sig-ME] Model selection with lme4

[Sarah Dryhurst]

Dear list,

I am wondering if packages such as MuMIn are suitable for running
model selection analyses on lmer objects?

In the MuMIn vignette it gives examples of how to use it with a model
from lme4, however the "dredge" function in MuMIn that generates all
possible models uses ML, which I thought would not be appropriate for
mixed models...?

If MuMIn is not suitable, are there any other options for automating
model selection on mixed models?

Many thanks in advance!

Sarah
