Dear List Members, I am running a random intercept and random slope (2 cross-level interactions) MLM using package lme4 (individuals nested in countries, number of 2nd level units is 21). My DV (member of a trade union or not) is dichotomous, and thus it is a logistic multilevel model. The model converges and the results are significant. I would like to ask what solution can be used, if I want to simulate the model results for a hypothetical individual. More precisely, I am interested in comparing the probabilities of being a trade union member across countries, using a hypothetical individual. For this, I have the values for all the independent variables, but a simple calculation based on the coefficients is not enough, since it does not encompass the random effects in the calculation of the probabilities. What is the solution to estimate these log odds, using the model coefficients and still including tha random effects?
