Get Factor Scores and the Corresponding Scoring Matrices for Mixed-Effect Models

get_fs_lmer() is superseded by get_fs(). It is retained for backward compatibility and delegates to get_fs(object) internally. New code should call get_fs() directly.

Usage

get_fs_lmer(
  object,
  method = c("EB"),
  corrected_fsT = FALSE,
  vfsLT = FALSE,
  fsm = FALSE,
  legacy_names = TRUE,
  ...
)

Arguments

object

A fitted model object of class lme4::lmerMod.

method

"EB" (empirical Bayes, default) or "ML" (prior-free per-cluster OLS), forwarded to get_fs.merMod().

corrected_fsT

Currently not used.

vfsLT

Currently not used.

fsm

Currently not used.

legacy_names

Logical. Passed to get_fs.merMod(). Defaults to TRUE so get_fs_lmer() keeps returning the pre-refactor u0_eb-style column names (in the legacy column order). Note the legacy output is name-compatible, not byte-identical, with the pre-refactor result: it additionally carries score-error columns (u0_eb_se, ...), per-cluster fsL/fsT array attributes, a per-cluster scoring_matrix list attribute (see get_fs()), and has NULL row names (the pre-refactor output had no _se columns, no attributes, and used the ranef subject IDs as row names).

...

Additional arguments, passed on to get_fs().
