'Different output when running lmer and summarise
I am doing some easy linear mixed effects model as below:
lmer( as.numeric(o.m_20_r_coded)~ site + (1 | village), o.m_20_r_coded_dat) %>% summary()
Random effects:
Groups Name Variance Std.Dev.
village (Intercept) 0.3285 0.5732
Residual 1.2504 1.1182
Number of obs: 3580, groups: village, 59
Fixed effects:
Estimate Std. Error df t value Pr(>|t|)
(Intercept) 3.6879 0.1194 116.6521 30.887 <2e-16 ***
siteWASEP -0.1377 0.1106 465.1790 -1.245 0.214
But when I run descriptives, I get very different results:
o.m_20_r_coded_dat %>% group_by(site) %>% summarise(as.numeric(mean(o.m_20_r_coded,na.rm=T)))
control 3.134864
WASEP 3.592092
Why is there such a huge discrepancy? Based on model00, the intercept for WASEP is smaller than the intercept for control, whereas the descriptives show the opposite! What is going on?
There are lots of NAs in the data.
