{nlme} Multilevel estimation heteroscedasticity
Dear All, I'm trying to model heteroscedasticity using a multilevel model. To do so, I make use of the nlme package and the weigths-parameter. Let's say that I hypothesize that the exam score of students (normexam) is influenced by their score on a standardized LR test (standLRT). Students are of course nested in "schools". These variables are contained in the Exam-data in the mlmRev package. library(nlme) library(mlmRev) lme(fixed = normexam ~ standLRT, data = Exam, random = ~ 1 | school)...

testing for significance in random-effect factors using lmer
Hi, I would like to know whether it is possible to obtain a value of significance for random effects when aplying the lme or related functions. The default output in R is just a variance and standard deviation measurement. I feel it would be possible to obtain the significance of these random effects by comparing models with and without these effects. However, I'm not used to perform
