[R-sig-ME] Trouble looping model using glmmTMB

Hi Bill,

To answer your first question (Deriving confidence interval(s) from the
bootstrap), the following code might help. That should give you a data
frame of the lower CI range of 2.5% and higher range of 97.5%.

CI_values <- data.frame(sapply(1:ncol(X), function(x)
quantile(X[,x],c(0.025,0.975))))

where, X is the data frame containing the bootstrapped values.

As for the second question (Proper interpretation of the resulting output
statistics.) you might want to refer to Nakagawa and Cuthill (2007) and
Cumming and Finch (2005).
