Photographing fairies youtube There's even more 'no parking' zones at Palma airport than before as the authorities have closed the short stay zone by Arrivals. In days of yore parking was allowed for 5 minutes so that drivers could bundle their friends, relatives and luggage into the car for a comfortable, cheap ride home.
Satelite clima venezuela However, Police and taxi drivers (surprise, surprise) have been complaining about the chaos caused by motorists (there must be one or two) who have abused the 5 minute rule (that's 5 normal minutes, not 5 Mallorca minutes) and park forever and a day. Add to this the buffoons who decide to double park and wander off leaving everyone else blocked in and jams soon start to form. Taxi doll myspace Now, motorists must park in the multi-storey car park which, though free for the first 30 minutes, is still a couple of hundred metres walk (that's putting one foot in front of the other and repeating the process over and over) from arrivals. Directorio de playas Police are being particularly vigilant around the 5-minutes-free-drop-off-zone on the upper level departures area of the airport. They've second guessed that cunning motorists who can't manage the 'one foot in front of the other' procedure, may try and park there for longer than the allotted time, so beware!
. The use of both linear and generalized linear mixed‐effects models (LMMs and GLMMs) has become popular not only in social and medical sciences, but also in biological sciences, especially in the field of ecology and evolution. Information criteria, such as Akaike Information Criterion (AIC), are usually presented as model comparison tools for mixed‐effects models.
The presentation of ‘variance explained’ ( R 2) as a relevant summarizing statistic of mixed‐effects models, however, is rare, even though R 2 is routinely reported for linear models (LMs) and also generalized linear models (GLMs). R 2 has the extremely useful property of providing an absolute value for the goodness‐of‐fit of a model, which cannot be given by the information criteria. As a summary statistic that describes the amount of variance explained, R 2 can also be a quantity of biological interest. One reason for the under‐appreciation of R 2 for mixed‐effects models lies in the fact that R 2 can be defined in a number of ways. Furthermore, most definitions of R 2 for mixed‐effects have theoretical problems (e.g. Decreased or negative R 2 values in larger models) and/or their use is hindered by practical difficulties (e.g. Here, we make a case for the importance of reporting R 2 for mixed‐effects models.

We first provide the common definitions of R 2 for LMs and GLMs and discuss the key problems associated with calculating R 2 for mixed‐effects models. We then recommend a general and simple method for calculating two types of R 2 (marginal and conditional R 2) for both LMMs and GLMMs, which are less susceptible to common problems. This method is illustrated by examples and can be widely employed by researchers in any fields of research, regardless of software packages used for fitting mixed‐effects models. The proposed method has the potential to facilitate the presentation of R 2 for a wide range of circumstances.
(eqn 4) where n is the number of observations (i.e. The total sample size), is the mean of the response, is the ith fitted response value, are estimates of β 0 and β h, respectively, and the subscript ‘O’ in R 2 O signifies OLS regression. An interesting and important feature to note here is that the definition of ‘variance explained’ is rather indirectly composed of 1 minus the ‘variance unexplained’ (we revisit this very point later). An equivalent yet perhaps more intuitive formulation of can also be written as. (eqn 7)where is the residual variance of the null model.
There are two difficulties with generalizing this definition of to the GLMM context. When generalizing to non‐Gaussian response variables (i.e.
GLMs), it is not straightforward to get an appropriate estimate of the residual variance. Also, when generalizing to mixed‐effects models that consist of error terms at different hierarchical levels (see below), it is not immediately obvious which estimate should be used as the unexplained variance. For GLMs, can be defined using the maximum likelihood (ML) of the full and null models (Maddala ).
Perhaps, the best‐known and most popular definition is. (eqn 10) We have deliberately left −2 in the denominator and numerator so that (‘D’ signifies ‘deviance’) can be compared with Equation. For a LM (Equation ), the −2 log‐likelihood statistic (sometimes referred to as deviance) is equal to the residual sum of squares based on OLS of this model (Menard; see a series of formulas for non‐Gaussian responses in Table of Cameron & Windmeijer ). There are several other likelihood‐based definitions of R 2 (reviewed in Cameron & Windmeijer; Menard ), but we do not review these definitions, as they are less relevant to our approach below. We will instead discuss the generalization of R 2 to LMMs and GLMMs, and associated problems in this process, in the next section. (eqn 13) where y ij is the ith response of the jth individual, x hij is the ith value of the jth individual for the hth predictor, β 0 is the intercept, β h is the slope (regression coefficient) of the hth predictor, α j is the individual‐specific effect from a normal distribution of individual‐specific effects with mean of zero and variance of (between‐individual variance) and εegr; ij is the residual associated with the ith value of the jth individual from a normal distribution of residuals with mean of zero and variance of (within‐individual variance). As seen in the previous equations, LMMs have by definition more than one variance component (in this case two: and ), while LMs have only one (Equations and ).
One of the earliest definitions of R 2 for mixed‐effects models is based on the reduction of each variance component when including fixed‐effect predictors separately; in other words, separate R 2 for each random effect and the residual variance (Raudenbush & Bryk; Bryk & Raudenbush; we detail this measurement in the section ‘Related issues’). This approach is analogous to Equation. As pointed out by Snijders & Bosker ( ), however, it is not uncommon that some predictors can reduce while simultaneously increasing, and vice versa even though the total sum of variance components is usually reduced (for an example, see Table in Snijders & Bosker ). Such behaviour of variance components can sometimes result in negative R 2 because and can be larger than and, respectively (i.e. The corresponding variance components in the intercept model).
To avoid this problem, Snijders & Bosker ( ) proposed what they refer to as and for LMMs with one random factor (as in Equation ): one R 2 value is calculated for each level of a LMM (i.e. The unit level and the grouping/individual level). Can be expressed in two forms (analogous to Equations and ).
(eqn 19) where is variance explained at the individual level (i.e. Level 2; between‐individual variance explained), is the mean observed value for the jth individual, is the fitted value for jth individual, k is the harmonic mean of the number of replicates per individuals, m j is the number of replicates for the ith individual, M is the total number of individuals, and other notations are as above. An advantage of using and is that we can evaluate how much variance is explained at each level of the analysis. However, there are at least three problems with this approach: (i) it turns out that and can decrease in larger models (note that.
