[R-sig-ME] bootstraping a mixed-model (lme)

[Roslyn Dakin]

This question is in response to Ken's point about bootstrapping mixed
models (that you have to resample whole clusters/subjects for the
nonparametric bootstrap). Why can't you nonparametric bootstrap a mixed
model by stratified bootstrapping? i.e., resampling within each level of
the random effect, assuming you have a decent number of observations for
each level

Many thanks,
Roz
