Hello All,
I have the two models below, which are only different by the addition of the random intercept "|| first_school:" in the 2nd model. I want to know how much variance does the random intercept add to my model. I came across the following UCLA link but it talks about estimating effect size from "meglm." I am not sure how "mixed" and "meglm" differ but I want to keep using "mixed." Does anyone have any suggestion and can I apply the same methods that you recommend to models that use "xtmepoisson"?
Thank you for your time
Best wishes
Patrick
