More naive questions: HLM6 comparisons? what is a "stack imbalance" in lmer? does lmer center variables?
1. One general question for general discussion: Is HLM6 faster than lmer? If so, why? What should I watch for to spot the differences? I'm always advocating R to students, but some faculty members are skeptical. A colleague compared the commercial HLM6 software to lmer. HLM6 seems to fit the model in 1 second, but lmer takes 60 seconds. My first...

...UI for lme4, and I was wondering if there is a function that automatically detects on which level every variable exists. Furtheremore I got kind of confused about what a random effects model actually calculates.

Is this because the function automatically detects the level by testing on which levels the predictor has variance, or is this information simply not needed? I was taught that a crosslevel i...
