Summary of Mixed Models as HTML Table

This vignette shows examples for using tab_model() to create HTML tables for mixed models. Basically, tab_model() behaves in a very similar way for mixed models as for other, simple regression models, as shown in this vignette.

data("efc")
efc$cluster <- as.factor(efc$e15relat)

Mixed models summaries as HTML table

Unlike tables for non-mixed models, tab_models() adds additional information on the random effects to the table output for mixed models. You can hide these information with show.icc = FALSE and show.re.var = FALSE. Furthermore, the R-squared values are marginal and conditional R-squared statistics, based on Nakagawa et al. 2017.

m1 <- lmer(neg_c_7 ~ c160age + c161sex + e42dep + (1 | cluster), data = efc)
m2 <- lmer(Reaction ~ Days + (1 + Days | Subject), data = sleepstudy)

The marginal R-squared considers only the variance of the fixed effects, while the conditional R-squared takes both the fixed and random effects into account.

The p-value is a simple approximation, based on the t-statistics and using the normal distribution function. A more precise p-value can be computed using p.val = "kr". In this case, which only applies to linear mixed models, the computation of p-values is based on conditional F-tests with Kenward-Roger approximation for the degrees of freedom (using the using the pbkrtest-package). Note that here the computation is more time consuming and thus not used as default. You can also display the approximated degrees of freedom with show.df.

Generalized linear mixed models

tab_model() can also print and combine models with different link-functions.

data("efc")
efc$neg_c_7d <- ifelse(efc$neg_c_7 < median(efc$neg_c_7, na.rm = TRUE), 0, 1)
efc$cluster <- as.factor(efc$e15relat)
m3 <- glmer(
  neg_c_7d ~ c160age + c161sex + e42dep + (1 | cluster),
  data = efc, 
  family = binomial(link = "logit")
)

More complex models

Finally, an example from the glmmTMB-package to show how easy it is to print zero-inflated generalized linear mixed models as HTML table.

library(glmmTMB)
data("Salamanders")
m4 <- glmmTMB(
  count ~ spp + mined + (1 | site),
  ziformula = ~ spp + mined, 
  family = truncated_poisson(link = "log"), 
  data = Salamanders
)

tab_model(m1, m3, m4, show.ci = FALSE)
