Description

Extract the trace of the `hat' matrix from a fitted linear mixed model or generalized linear mixed model.

Usage

hatTrace(x)

Arguments

x

a fitted model object that inherits from the mer class

Value

• The trace of the hat matrix at the parameter estimates. This is a measure of the complexity of the model, conditional on the relative variance components.
