FEsim

Simulate fixed effects from merMod FEsim simulates fixed effects from merMod object posterior distributions

Simulate fixed effects from merMod FEsim simulates fixed effects from merMod object posterior distributions

FEsim(merMod, n.sims = 200, oddsRatio = FALSE, seed = NULL)

`merMod`	a merMod object from the lme4 package
`n.sims`	number of simulations to use
`oddsRatio`	logical, should parameters be converted to odds ratios?
`seed`	numeric, optional argument to set seed for simulations

Use the Gelman sim technique to build fixed effect estimates and confidence intervals. Uses the sim function in the arm package

a data frame with the following columns

require(lme4)
m2 <- lmer(Reaction ~ Days + (Days | Subject), sleepstudy)
fe2 <- FEsim(m2, 25)
head(fe2)
