predictor_strength.RdGiven a dependent variable, a set of fixed effect variables, and a random effect structure, this function creates an lmer model
for each predictor variable, lacking that predictor variable.
Then, conditional and marginal coefficients of determination for each model are calculated. Comparing the value of the conditional coefficient
of determination across all models, one can conclude the predictor strength of the respective missing predictor.
The function uses MuMIn::r.squaredGLMM to compute coefficients of determination.
predictor_strength(dependent, fixed, random_str, data)The dependent variable for all models.
The independent variables, i.e. the fixed effects, for all models.
The random effect structure for all models.
The original data set.
A dataframe containing the conditional and marginal coefficients of determination for each model, and a column defining the variable the values belong to.
