Arguments

`object`	an `R` object, see Details.
`...`	currently ignored.

Details

Currently there are methods for objects of class merMod, i.e., the result of lmer() etc, and factor objects.

Value

The number of levels (of a factor) or vector of number of levels for each “grouping factor” of a

Examples

ngrps(factor(seq(1,10,2)))
ngrps(lmer(Reaction ~ 1|Subject, sleepstudy))

## A named vector if there's more than one grouping factor :
ngrps(lmer(strength ~ (1|batch/cask), Pastes))
## cask:batch      batch
##         30         10
