To make a mixed effects model in R with two fixed effects and one random effect, we can use either the lme4 or nlme package.
Assuming we have a data frame with the response variable y, and two fixed effects x1 and x2, and one random effect group, the model formula for lme4 would be:
main.r76 chars3 lines
Here, (1|group) specifies a random intercept for each level of group.
For nlme, we can use:
main.r82 chars3 lines
Here, random = ~1|group specifies a random intercept for each level of group.
Once we have fit our model, we can use various methods to summarize and visualize our results:
main.r355 chars16 lines
