Sample size and mixed models
A very quick (and possibly silly) question for mixed modelers. Certain metrics such as Nagelkerke's R2 and the sample size adjusted AICc require the user to specify the sample size. What is the appropriate sample size to use in a mixed model where you might have hundreds of repeat samples on a smaller sample of sites (in this case, the sites are treated as the random factor)? In my case, the lmer output will produce the following information: Number of obs: 10091, groups: ID, 444. For calculating sample size adjusted statistics, would you use an effective sample size of 444? Thank you.
