bmerMod-class: Class "bmerMod" of Fitted Mixed-Effect Models
Description
The bmerMod class represents linear or generalized
linear or nonlinear mixed-effects models with possible priors over
model components. It inherits from the merMod
class.
Arguments
Objects from the Class
Objects are created by calls to blmer or bglmer.
Slots
A bmerMod object contains one additional slot beyond the base
merMod class:
priors:
A named list comprised of covPriors,
fixefPrior, and residPrior.
In addition, the devcomp slot, element cmp includes the
penalty item which is the computed deviance for the priors. Add
this to the regular deviance to obtain the value of the objective function
that is used in optimization.
