The lme4 package is still in development. I can't guarantee the evaluation of the deviance for the quasipoisson family. There is a certain amount of mystery about the role of the dispersion parameter and the null deviance in families like quasipoisson and quasibinomial. For the time being don't

[R] p-value for fixed effect in generalized linear mixed model

2008-02-20 Thread Martijn Vandegehuchte
Dear R-users, I am currently trying to switch from SAS to R, and am not very familiar with R yet, so forgive me if this question is irrelevant. If I try to find the significance of the fixed factor "spikes" in a generalized linear mixed model, with "site" nested within "zone" as a random factor
