Hi all:
I met a question about lmer.
fm1 <- lmer(Reaction ~ Days + (Days|Subject), sleepstudy)
summary(fm1)
...
Fixed effects:
Estimate Std. Error t value
(Intercept) 251.405 6.825 36.84
Days 10.467 1.546 6.77
...
My question:
Why p values of (Intercept) and Days are not given?
That's getting a bit old. It has a reference to Doug Bates posting from 2006, which basically says "because degree of freedom issues are unresolved". Important developments have happened since, and Rune's reference to package lmerTest (and, implicitly, pbkrtest) is more precise these days.
