I've just been running my first ever regression and I'm using R for an lmer. I've created two models, a null one (part ~ 1 + (1 | id) + (1 | word)) and another with a predictor I want to test (part ~ 1 + conf + (1 | id) + (1 | word)). I've compared them both and the model with a predictor is significantly better, but I can't see from the data which direction the prediction goes (i.e. are conf and part inversely correlated or not). Could somebody tell me where I can find this information? Here's my data, thanks in advance: Null Model: Generalized linear mixed model fit using Laplace Formula: part ~ 1 + (1 | id) + (1 | word) Data: align Family: binomial(logit link) AIC BIC logLik deviance 537.9 551 -265.9 531.9 Random effects: Groups Name Variance Std.Dev. word (Intercept) 2.309122 1.51958 id (Intercept) 0.055252 0.23506 number of obs: 601, groups: word, 32; id, 20 Estimated scale (compare to 1 ) 0.8671394 Fixed effects: Estimate Std.
