  dotplot(drop(influent:Type) ~ y, groups = Type, Mississippi)
}

  ## compare with output 4.1, p. 142
  print(fm1Miss <- lmer(y ~ 1 + (1|influent), Mississippi))
  ## compare with output 4.2, p. 143
  print(fm1MLMiss <- update(fm1Miss, REML=FALSE))
  ## BLUP's of random effects on p. 142
  ranef(fm1Miss)            
  ## BLUP's of random effects on p. 144
  print(ranef(fm1MLMiss))
#intervals(fm1Miss)       # interval estimates of variance components
  ## compare to output 4.8 and 4.9, pp. 150-152
