I feel it would really help if people literally wrote out their lmer model in their papers in lmer syntax, and not just say they fit a "maximal model" and then say that some ranefs were removed due to convergence failure. We can't know what model was fit.

Even better write it in mathematical notation with all the distributions and covariances

I'm realizing that the mathematical form is not easy for people to map to lmer syntax.

I think one should give a lot more practice in LMM courses in mapping lmer syntax to the mathematical model. Now that I think about it, it took me a long time too to figure out how to do this right.

Is this really good way to do it and be future proof though? Languages/libraries change, backwards compatibility might be impossible, etc...

I live in the moment :). Anyway, I'll be dead in 10-15 years, I don't really care what happens after that ;)
