    Misc. Stats Topics Discussion > Generalised linear model to estimate means

    I've recently read a paper which used generalised linear mixed models to estimate mean annual and monthly values for the response variable in the model . The response variable was a normally distributed continuous variable and year and month were used as predictors in the model. The annual and monthly mean were then calculated for the response variable. How is the annual and monthly mean estimated for the response variable in a generalised linear mixed model?

    Hey Ross!

    I'm guessing the user clicked the "unstandardized predicted values" option in the "save" menu, which creates a new variable in your data that represents the predicted value of the response variable for each person (based on their values of the predicators). After the variable is created, you can simply use the descriptive statistics menu to examine the new "predicted values" variable. If I understand your question correctly, that should get you what you want.
