Dear List, I am new to GLMM's and am trying to understand if a workflow i have used previously with GLM's will transfer to lmer. I have a binary response variable - TRUE / FALSE and a series of 6 categorical factors with one interaction, and two random variables which account for phylogenetic structure. I have run the model - model1 <- lmer(response~1+(1|ord/fam) + a*b + c + d +e + f, family=binomial) which works fine. Now i want to use the model to predict responses and am looking to validate the model with cross validation. Using GLM my approach was get predicted values using predict() construct a ROC plot with ROCR or Epi. cross validate with cv.glm construct another ROC plot with cross validation lines to get a idea of variation etc. I am thinking this is a common thing to do and people must want to do it with GLMM's? however with no predict function i don't know how this is possible? Based on AIC criteria, the model that explains the data "best" for glm was also the best when using glmm, however i am unsure if this can justify using a glm and ignoring the random variables, even though i know they are important? Any help would be greatly appreciated. George
ROC plots and predictions with glmm?
