R help - Oct 2009 - Calculating Random Effects Coefficients from lmer

Hello all,

I am new to the list serve but hope to contribute what I can. For now,
however, I hope to tap into all your knowledge about mixed effects models.

Currently, I am running a mixed effects model on a time series panel data.
For this model I want to find out the fixed and random effect for two
discrete variables.

My Model:

m1 <- lmer(mghegdp_who ~ govdisgdp_up_net + pridisgdp_up_net +
mgdppc_usd06_imf + drdisgdp + mggegdpwb + hiv_prevalence + (0 +
govdisgdp_up_net|country) + (0 + pridisgdp_up_net|country), data)

To find the overall effect *with confidence intervals* of govdisgdp_up_net &
pridisgdp_up_net I need to account for the fixed and random effects.
Has any calculated this? Or does anyone have suggestions?

Also, does anyone know of the ability to calculate the postVar for a model
with multiple random effects?

Thank you and look forward to hearing your insights.
