Predictions from lme and lmer models
The call to predict with lme models has an argument 'level' which, I understand, produces population predictions for level = 0 and group specific predictions for level = 1. There doesn't seem to be a similar argument for lmer (lme4 package) models. Is it just a matter of specifying the appropriate newdata data frame to achieve the same end? Or is there a more direct way? TIA
