For GLMMs of class glmerMod
, glmmTMB
or MixMod
,
the absolute unconditional deviance is returned (see 'Details' in
?lme4::
merMod-class``), i.e. minus twice the log-likelihood. To get
the relative conditional deviance (relative to a saturated model,
conditioned on the conditional modes of random effects), use deviance()
.
The value returned `get_deviance()` usually equals the deviance-value
from the `summary()`.
