Summ (Model.A, scale= TRUE). The results came up with a note as follows: "All continuous predictors are mean-centred and scaled by 1 standard deviation" Now I have 2 questions: 1. What does 'the continuous predictors' mean? If my predictors are 3/4/5 scales, are they continuous? For example, is a Likert scale considered as continuous here? 2. I am trying to apply the same scale function in a Multi-level Model. But it is not working. Can you please suggest me, what is the problem, or what package do I need to use to get the model results with scale? I use lme4 package (lmer function).

Scaling the regression model results

Hi,

I used scaling function in the OLS model in R as follows:

Summ (Model.A, scale= TRUE).

The results came up with a note as follows:

"All continuous predictors are mean-centred and scaled by 1 standard deviation"

Now I have 2 questions:

1. What does 'the continuous predictors' mean? If my predictors are 3/4/5 scales, are they continuous? For example, is a Likert scale considered as continuous here?

2. I am trying to apply the same scale function in a Multi-level Model. But it is not working. Can you please suggest me, what is the problem, or what package do I need to use to get the model results with scale? I use lme4 package (lmer function).

Thank you.
