Power analysis for random effects in mixed models

Description:

Simulation functions to assess or explore the power of a dataset to estimates significant random effects in a mixed model. The functions are based on the "lme4" package.

Installation

The package is available on CRAN, in case of problem you can download the developper version directly from github using devtools::install_github("JulienGAMartin/pamm_R")

Note 2020-01-20

Code as been fixed to work with the latest version of lme4 and lmerTest packages Suggestiosn for new functionality are welcome Code need to be cleaned a bit.

ToDo

• restructure the package based on a simulate function and a power.eval function that PAMM, SSF and EAMM can call
• rewrite support information
