makeGlmer function

Create an artificial mixed model object

Make a merMod object with the specified structure and parameters.

makeGlmer(formula, family, fixef, VarCorr, data)

makeLmer(formula, fixef, VarCorr, sigma, data)

Arguments

• formula: a formula describing the model (see glmer).
• family: type of response variable (see family).
• fixef: vector of fixed effects
• VarCorr: variance and covariances for random effects. If there are multiple random effects, supply their parameters as a list.
• data: data.frame of explanatory variables.
• sigma: residual standard deviation.
