Hi Michael,

Thanks for your response!  What do you mean by profiling the variance?
Yes, some of my moderators had virtually no effect in our models.  I have
the issue with the PI being displayed for each data point in the model
instead of the PI for the model across all the moderators, unfortunately.

Dear Tori

It might help to know exactly why you think the ouput is incorrect but I
notice that (a) your random effects seem to have very small variances
(have you tried profiling them?) (b) your moderator does not seem to
have much effect either.

Hello Listserv -

I wanted to know if folks know of a way to get prediction intervals for
moderator analyses!  I tried the predict() function but the output looks
incorrect.  I attached a screenshot below of the code plus a part of the
output.

Thanks in advance!
