Standard error of sample mean for mixed models

Compute the standard error for the sample mean for mixed models, regarding the extent to which clustering affects the standard errors. May be used as part of the multilevel power calculation for cluster sampling (see Gelman and Hill 2007, 447ff).

se_ybar(fit)

Arguments
