Hi. I want to do an lmer model but have doubts of what family I should use. My response variable was originally a proportion, however I standarized it for each year of data collection (20 in total). After standarizing it I checked for normality with the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, and it turns out it is not normal. It ranges from -3 to 4. Since it is no longer a proportion I can't use a binomial distribution nor a normal distribution. I'm guessing I have to transform it, but this is a variable that has already been standarized. Anny suggestions? Thank you. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/lmer-model-with-continuos-non-normal-response-variable%2C-transformation-needed--tp18138263p18138263.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
