Dear Colleagues, I run this model:
mod1 <- lmer(x~category+subcomp+category*subcomp+(1|id),data=impchiefsrm) obtain this summary result: Linear mixed-effects model fit by REML Formula: x ~ category + subcomp + category * subcomp + (1 | id) Data: impchiefsrm AIC BIC logLik MLdeviance REMLdeviance 4102 4670 -1954 3665 3908 Random effects: Groups Name Variance Std.Dev. id (Intercept) 0.11562 0.34003 Residual 0.22765 0.47713 number of obs: 2568, groups: id, 107 run this model (only difference is I've removed the interaction term): mod2 <- lmer(x~category+subcomp+(1|id),data=impchiefsrm) obtain this summary result: Linear mixed-effects model fit by REML Formula: x ~ category + subcomp + (1 | id) Data: impchiefsrm AIC BIC logLik MLdeviance REMLdeviance 3987 4151 -1966 3823 3931 Random effects: Groups Name Variance Std.Dev. id (Intercept) 0.11528 0.33953 Residual 0.23584 0.48564 number of obs: 2568, groups: id, 107 Note that the loglik from the first model is -1954 and from the second model loglik is -1966. Next, to test the difference between the two models I run: anova(mod1, mod2) and obtain this result: Data: impchiefsrm Models: mod2: x ~ category + subcomp + (1 | id) mod1: x ~ category + subcomp + category * subcomp + (1 | id) Df AIC BIC logLik Chisq Chi Df Pr(>Chisq) mod2 28 3879.1 4042.9 -1911.5 mod1 97 3859.3 4426.9 -1832.7 157.72 69 6.71e-09 *** --- Signif. codes: 0 '***' 0.001 '**' 0.01 '*' 0.05 '.' 0.1 ' ' 1 Note that in this result the logLiks are reported as -1832.7 and -1911.5 respectively for models 1 and 2. Now my question: Why are the logLiks from the anova command that compares the two models different from what was reported in the separate model results?
