Dear all, I am trying to understand the output from a binomial lmer object and why the scaling of a fixed effect changes the variance components. In the model p2rec is cbind(number recruits2,number recruits 1), Pop is populations (five level factor) and ja is year (covariate running from 1955-2004). I.e. biologically I am interested to see how the proportion of recruits from the second clutch has changed over time between the different populations. I've used the Laplace optimiz...
