[R-sig-ME] Testing Random Effects--On the Boundary

[Thompson,Paul]

I have never heard of a rule of "dividing the p values in half". There are corrections like Bonferroni but these depend on the number of tests.

Hi Tom,

I have read that page.  I see there are 6 options, but I am curious about using LRT in particular and using a corrected p value, rather than other options.  I see people floating around the suggestion to divide the p value in half, but there has to be a more exact calculation maybe?  Then again, maybe not because of the nature of the issue.
