To whom it may concern:
I recently used lmer (for non-normally distributed data and mixed effects,
using the Laplace method). All 3 of my fixed effects were categorical,
including two ordered factors and one unordered factor. In my tables, I
currently report the number of observations for the response variable, and both
the degrees of freedom and Chi Square values from tests of reduced models
against the full model.
However, I would also like to include some indication of the magnitude and
direction of the change in each fixed effect (and interaction effects) as a
function of the response variable. Is this done with the "estimate +/- SE" of
fixed effects in the summary of the fitted model? Either way, I am confused
with how to report these effects succinctly, especially because for categorical
variables, each category has its own estimated effect. What is a reasonable
way to do this? Or should I just avoid it entirely?
I really appreciate your time and help. Please reply to [EMAIL PROTECTED] or

Sincerely,
Tracy S. Feldman
