a fitted [g]lmer (merMod) object
type of residuals
scale residuals by residual standard deviation (=scale parameter)?
additional arguments (ignored: for method compatibility)
The default residual type varies between
lmerMod and glmerMod objects: they try to
mimic residuals.lm and
residuals.glm respectively. In particular,
the default type is "response", i.e.
(observed-fitted) for lmerMod objects vs.
"deviance" for glmerMod objects.
type="partial" is not yet implemented for either
type.
Note that the meaning of "pearson"
residuals differs between residuals.lm and
residuals.lme. The former returns values
scaled by the square root of user-specified weights (if
any), but not by the residual standard deviation,
while the latter returns values scaled by the estimated
standard deviation (which will include the effects of any
variance structure specified in the weights
argument). To replicate lme behaviour, use
type="pearson", scaled=TRUE.
