Description

Package mlmtools definitely seems relevant, although it provides a bit of a mix of different things (e.g., some pre-processing stuff, $R^2$, some visualizations, some model assumption checks), so not quite sure where it would fit. We also don't have anything related to visualization in the first place. Maybe Model diagnostics and summary statistics could be expanded to Model diagnostics, summary statistics, and visualization.

Package mind seems to be related to small area estimation, which is already covered by the Official Statistics & Survey Statistics task view, but that of course does overlap thematically with mixed-effects models. Not sure how we should handle that.
