Error in Multilevel Correlation

[teindor]

Hello, I tried using this simple code: wf %>% correlation(select = "inflated", select2 = "gender",multilevel = TRUE) I get this message: Error: No random effects terms specified in formula

I tried tweaking the code like this: wf %>% group_by(id) %>% correlation(select = "inflated", select2 = "gender",multilevel = TRUE) or this: wf %>% correlation(select = "inflated", select2 = "gender",multilevel = TRUE, formula = infalted ~ gender + (1|id), with the same error. I haven't find any explanation here or in the documentation.

The random factor should be "id" Enclosed is the data file Any ideas? wf.csv

You need to include the grouping variable in select:

wf$id <- factor(wf$id)
correlation::correlation(wf, select = c("id", "inflated", "gender"), multilevel = TRUE)
#> Parameter1 | Parameter2 |    r |            CI | t(539) |     p
#> ---------------------------------------------------------------
#> inflated   |     gender | 0.07 | [-0.02, 0.15] |   1.56 | 0.120
