[R-sig-ME] (no) significance value (gl)mer

[Marko Bachl]

Dear Ben,
Just a short info, others may have something more substantial to add.

You will find plenty of information on significance tests and
inference in lme4 in the top sections of this website:
http://glmm.wikidot.com/faq.
A short info inside the lme4 package is given by
require(lme4)
?pvalues

Best,
Marko
