MuMIn::r.squaredGLMM is similar to r.squared but cannot calculate r-squared for Poisson models.
library(MuMIn)
# Error for Poisson model
mumin.models <- do.call(rbind, lapply(list(mod0, mod1, mod2, mod3, mod3.prob, mod4, mod4.sqrt), r.squaredGLMM))
# Ignoring lm and poisson rows yields same results as ours
all.equal(lme4.models[2:5, 4:5], data.frame(mumin.models)[2:5,], check.attributes = F)
blme extends lme4, but yields different coefficients for random and fixed effects, which could explain the differences between their conditional r-squared values.
library(blme)
#Linear mixed effects model
blme.mod1 <- blmer(y ~ fixed1 + (1|rand2/rand1), data)
blme.mod2 <- blmer(y ~ fixed1 + fixed2 + (1|rand2/rand1), data)
#Generalized linear mixed effects model (binomial)
blme.mod3 <- bglmer(y.binom ~ fixed1*fixed2 + (1|rand2/rand1), family="binomial", data)
blme.mod3.prob <- update(blme.mod3, family = binomial(link = "probit"))
#Generalized linear mixed effects model (poisson)
blme.mod4 <- bglmer(y.poisson ~ fixed1*fixed2 + (1|rand2/rand1), family="poisson", data)
blme.mod4.sqrt <- update(blme.mod4, family = poisson(link = "sqrt"))
#Get values for all kinds of models
(blme.models <- rsquared.glmm(list(mod0, blme.mod1, blme.mod2, blme.mod3, blme.mod3.prob, blme.mod4, blme.mod4.sqrt)))
# blme models yield better conditional r-squared values
all.equal(lme4.models[-(1:2)], blme.models[-(1:2)])
lmerTest::lmer extends lme4::lmer to allow anova calculations, but their random and mixed effects coefficients are the same.
# Try with lmerTest package -- output should be the same as above
library(lmerTest)
#Linear mixed effects model
lmerTest.mod1 <- lmer(y ~ fixed1 + (1|rand2/rand1), data)
lmerTest.mod2 <- lmer(y ~ fixed1 + fixed2 + (1|rand2/rand1), data)
rsquared.glmm(list(mod0, lmerTest.mod1, lmerTest.mod2))
(lmerTest.models <- rsquared.glmm(list(mod0, lmerTest.mod1, lmerTest.mod2)))
# Same results
all.equal(lme4.models[1:3, -(1:3)], lmerTest.models[,-(1:3)])
nlme::lme and lme4::lmer yield very similar r-squared values.
library(nlme)
lme.mod1 <- lme(y~fixed1,random=~1|rand2/rand1,data)
lme.mod2 <- lme(y~fixed1+fixed2,random=~1|rand2/rand1,data)
(lme.models <- rsquared.glmm(list(mod0,lme.mod1,lme.mod2)))
# Results only differ in decimal precision
