Greetings all, I am using lmer (lme4 package) to analyze data where the response is a proportion (0 to 1). It appears to work, but I am wondering if the analysis is treating the response appropriately - i.e. can lmer do this?
I have used both family=binomial and quasibinomial - is one more appropriate when the response is a proportion? The coefficient estimates are identical, but the standard errors are larger with family=binomial. Thanks very much for any insight you may have!
