Hello, I got the estimated scale by lmer as follows: Estimated scale (compare to 1 ) 0.892683 My question is how to extract the value of the estimated scale from the results of lmer. And I know in some software the scale is constrained to 1. how lmer can do it? Thanks a lot!
Dear Tian, I guess library(mlmRev) (fm1 <- lmer(use ~ urban+age+livch+(1|district), Contraception, binomial)) slot(summary(fm1),"sigma") is what you are looking for. HTH, Bernd
