Hi Oliver



you once asked this question at the R help list.



Hi all,



I try to fit a glmm model with binomial distribution and I would to

verify that the scale parameter is close to 1...



the lmer function gives the following result :

Estimated scale (compare to  1 )  0.766783



But I would like to know how this estimation (0.766783) is performed,

and I would

like to know if it is possible to find this estimation with the

different results given by the function lmer.





Have you got an answer? I am now working with R 2.7.1.. This R- version does
not give the scale parameter in the summary of an lmer-object.

Therefore, I would like to calculate the scale parameter by hand, but I did
not find out how.



Thanks and best

Fränzi
