lme4 package
lmer does *not* implement sampling weights. You may want to look at the svylme <https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=svylme> package (see the README at https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/svylme/readme/README.html) cheers Ben Bolker

My name is Alejandro Izaguirre, I am an economist specialized in spatial data analysis. I use linear mixed models for estimating poverty maps. I have a question about the *lme4* package, specifically about lmer. I usually work with informative sampling designs and I would like to know if the command *"weights"* in *lmer* stands for sampling weights. There are discussions on the internet about this, and I would like to ask you for some clarifications. Thank you very much. regards, Alejandro Izaguirre [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
