Hi, If any one has time I need some help understanding the P-values given in the lmer output. Using AIC for model selection I find my minimal model is FOLLOW~MOVERSTATUS+DISTANCE however it appears DISTANCE is not significant at 95% confidence, see output quoted below. However, removing DISTANCE gives a higher AIC=433.5, therefore I will keep it in, but am confused as to what is adds to the model. Are the p values given in output to be taken lightly? Thanks Kry...
