<div style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 16px;">To whom it may concern:<br _moz_dirty="" /><br _moz_dirty="" />I am a MS student in the Division of Forestry and Natural Resources at West Virginia University. I am writing with a question about how many parameters are estimated with the glmm.admb program. I am running a model predicting litter decomposition (Decomp) from the biomass of shredders (sh). I'm blocking by wetland (Wetland, n=6) and stakes (Stake, n=646) are my experimental unit. When I run the anova(fit2,fit) function it tells me there are 9 parameter. Am I correct in assuming they are the 6 wetlands, shredder biomass, the intercept, and model error? <br _moz_dirty="" /><br _moz_dirty="" />I want to confirm I'm using the correct number of parameters so I can accurately calculate the AICc. Thank you for your help.<br _moz_dirty="" /><br _moz_dirty="" />Sincerely,<br _moz_dirty="" /><br _moz_dirty="" />Tristan Gingerich<br _moz_dirty="" /><br _moz_dirty="" /><br _moz_dirty="" />Code:<br _moz_dirty="" />fit = glmm.admb(Decomp~sh,random=~Wetland,group="Stake",data=data,family="nbinom")<br /></div>
