I'm new to the list, but I'm glad I found you all.

I'm testing for random vs. fixed effects, and I've read that another
way to do this is to add group means to the regression.  I don't fully
understand why the coefficient of the group means will be larger if
there is correlation between the variable and the effect.

If you understand this, please help!  Thanks.

Amber
