Missing categories in lmer summary

General

Hey :slight_smile: I would need some help with the lme4 package. I'm not allowed to share the original data, but I will give you a similar code:

  time <- as.factor(c(1,2,1,2,1,2,1,2))
  grad <- as.factor(c(0,0,1,1,2,2,3,3))
  group <- as.factor(c(rep("F",9), rep("P",9)))
  v_df <- data.frame(matrix(rnorm(18*8),nrow=18))
  v_y <- unlist(v_df)
  v_subject <- rep(rownames(v_df), ncol(v_df)) 
  v_group <- rep(group, ncol(v_df)) 
  v_time <- rep(time, each=nrow(v_df))
  v_grad <- rep(grad, each=nrow(v_df))
  y <- summary(lmer(v_y ~ v_group:v_time+v_group:v_grad+(v_grad|v_time)+(1|v_subject)))

The categories of my fixed effects in y look as follows: (Intercept), v_groupF:v_time1, v_groupP:v_time1, v_groupF:v_time2, v_groupF:v_grad1, v_groupP:v_grad1, v_groupF:v_grad2, v_groupP:v_grad2, v_groupF:v_grad3, v_groupP:v_grad3.
My question is: Where is my category "0" in v_grad? Is v_groupP:v_time2 my intercept?

Every advice is highly appreciated! :slight_smile:
