Using finalfit conventions, produces mixed effects linear regression
models for a set of explanatory variables against a continuous dependent.
lmmixed(.data, dependent, explanatory, random_effect)
| .data | Dataframe. |
|---|---|
| dependent | Character vector of length 1, name of depdendent variable (must be continuous vector). |
| explanatory | Character vector of any length: name(s) of explanatory variables. |
| random_effect | Character vector of length 1, either, (1) name of random
intercept variable, e.g. "var1", (automatically convered to "(1 | var1)");

A list of multivariable lme4::lmer fitted model
outputs. Output is of class lmerMod.
Uses lme4::lmer with finalfit modelling
conventions. Output can be passed to fit2df. This is only
currently set-up to take a single random effect as a random intercept. Can be
updated in future to allow multiple random intercepts, random gradients and
interactions on random effects if there is a need.
