Hi Jake,

As a teaching article, this is nice:

Hello list,

I am writing up the results from an analysis involving mixed models, and I am considering including the profile likelihood confidence intervals (as computed by confint.merMod() in lme4 package) for all parameter estimates in the manuscript. Does anyone have suggestions for good references I can cite that explain basically how it works and why profile CIs are a Good Thing? All justificationary purposes aside, I would actually be interested in reading some of these myself.
