The qqmath function makes great caterpillar plots of random effects using the output from the lmer package. That is, qqmath is great at plotting the intercepts from a hierarchical model with their errors around the point estimate. An example of the lmer and qqmath functions are below using the built-in data in the lme4 package called Dyestuff. The code will produce the hierarchical model and a nice plot using the ggmath function.The qqmath function makes great caterpillar plo
