[R-sig-ME] Plotting best fit lines binomial GLMM

[Phillip Alday]

Addressing the plotting issue: look at the effects package. You can
directly plot effects objects (which will yield lattice plots) or you
can convert them to data frames and plot by hand (e.g. if you want more
control and/or ggplot).

Best,
Phillip
