[R-sig-ME] Confidence interval around random effect variances in place of p-value

[Jack Solomon]

Dear All,

A colleague of mine suggested that I use the bootstrapped CIs around my
model's random effect variances in place of p-values for them.

But random effect variances (or sds) start from "0". So, to declare a
statistically NON-significant random effect variance component, the
lower bound of the CI must be EXACTLY "0", right?

Thank you very much,
Jack
