Random Coefficients

For each random effect in the model, the Generalized Linear Mixed Model report contains a section that shows estimated coefficients and a section that shows the matrix of covariance estimates. For discrete random effects, each row of the coefficients table corresponds to one level of the random effect. The row shows all coefficient estimates that are associated with that level of the random effect. For continuous random effects, there is only one row per effect in the report. The random coefficient estimates are used in conjunction with fixed effect estimates to create predictions for any specific level of the random effect.
