Description

This function creates a number of diagnostic plots from lmer models.

Usage

# S3 method for modelDiagnostics.merMod
plot(x, y, plot = TRUE, ask = TRUE, ncol = 1, nrow = 1, ...)

Value

a list including plots of the residuals, residuals versus fitted values, and one list for plots of all random effects

Arguments

x

A fitted model object from lmer().

y

Included to match the generic. Not used.

plot

A logical value whether or not to plot the results or simply return the graaphical objects.

Examples

library(JWileymisc)
sleep[1,1] <- NA
m <- lme4::lmer(extra ~ group + (1 | ID), data = sleep)

md <- modelDiagnostics(m, ev.perc = .1)
md$extremeValues

data(aces_daily, package = "JWileymisc")
m <- lme4::lmer(PosAff ~ STRESS + (1 + STRESS | UserID), data = aces_daily)

md <- modelDiagnostics(m, ev.perc = .001)
md$extremeValues
plot(md$modelDiagnostics[[2]][[2]])
plot(md, ncol = 2, nrow = 2)
plot(md, ncol = 2, nrow = 3)

rm(m, md, sleep)
