Hi! I would like to fit log-normal fixed model with lmer. Fixed effects estimates are returned on log scale, while variance components are returned on exp scale. Why is this the case?
I would just like to add that I expected to get variance estimates on link (log) scale as it is done for poisson (log link) or binomial (logit or probit link) families.
I'd need to look at the code more closely but I suspect that the results you are getting are spurious.
