extracting p values for main effects of binomial glmm

That is what I though you meant. In that case you can't discuss main
effects at all, as the effect of diet, for example, is different for each
combination of infection status and day. SAS and some other software will
attempt to give results but they aren't usually sensible.

No, sorry, the model is Diet + infection status + day and all the two way
interactions and the 3 way interaction.

Did yo mean to have interactions between all 3 as "Diet * Infection
status * Day". With interactions it isn't possible to test for the effect
of main effects.

Hi,

I'm fairly new to mixed models and have done a lot of reading without
much
success. Unfortunately there is no one at my institution who is really
familiar with them so I thought I would try this list.

I'm running a binomial generalized linear mixed effects model and I need
p-values for the main effects. I know this isn't entirely correct with
this
type of model but my supervisor wants the p-values!

The model is:

glmer (Proportion hatched ~ Diet * Infection status * Day +
(1|SubjectID) +
(1|Day), family=binomial)

where,

Proportion hatched = cbind(Offspring, Eggs-Offspring)
Diet is a factor with 2 levels
Infection status is a factor with 4 levels
Day is a factor with 3 levels

Using Subject ID number and Day as random effects is supposed to control
for pseudoreplication in the model, although I am not entirely sure that
this is specified in the correct way. I wanted to include experimental
replicate here too but the model failed to converge.

My question is: is there a way to get p-values for the main fixed
effects
of Diet, Infection and Day?

If you need more specific model information or the model output I would
be
happy to provide it.

Thanks,
Megan
