Extracting Coefficients from Linear Mixed Effects Models with R Code Example
The provided code will extract the coefficients of interest (Intercept and transect) for each group and save them to a data frame. Here’s an explanation of how the code works: The group_by function is used to group the data by region, year, and species. The group_modify function is then used to apply a custom function to each group. This custom function creates a new data frame that includes only the coefficients of interest (Intercept and transect) for the linear model specified by presence ~ transect + (1 | road).
