ICC for Beta-Binomial GLMM?

[utekleong]

Dear Developers,

I understand that the icc() supports models of the glmmTMB class. However, I could not find any documentation pertaining to the support of the beta-binomial distribution family.

Would I be able to use the icc function to check the ICC of an unconditional beta-binomial GLMM? If not, are there any alternatives or manual workarounds that I could implement?

Thank you so much, please do let me know if I overlooked anything.

Regards,
Utek

@strengejacke I'm not sure why var.random isn't returned here and the var.dispersion looks wrong:

data(cbpp, package="lme4")
library(glmmTMB)
m <- glmmTMB(cbind(incidence, size-incidence) ~ period + (1|herd),
                              family=betabinomial(), data=cbpp)
insight::get_variance(m)
summary(m)

The random effect variances can't be calculated because they're close to zero (see warning message). According to the dispersion variance: I adopted the code, and it's similar to the random effects variances. But not sure about this, in most cased it is zero, I think.
