Hi all, I have major heterogeneity in variances across labs (100-fold). There is no apparent variance heterogeneity across y-hat. By using lme4 in the following way, am I accounting for the variance differences in labs?:
lmer(y ~ fixed1 + covariates + (fixed1|labs)) I'm not sure that it is - I think it is only allowing the means (slopes [conditional means] & intercepts) to differ between labs. If so, how does one appropriately model such variances differences?
