sigma: Extract Residual Standard Deviation 'Sigma'
Description
Extract the estimated standard deviation of the errors, the
“residual standard deviation” (also misnamed the
“residual standard error”), from a fitted model.
Usage
# S3 method for merMod
sigma(object, …)
Arguments
object
a fitted model.
…
additional, optional arguments, passed from or to
methods. (None currently in our two methods.)
Value
Typically a number, the estimated standard deviation of the
errors (“residual standard deviation”) for Gaussian
models, and - less interpretably - the square root of the residual
deviance per degree of freedom in more general models.
