abstract: 'Computes model-based effect sizes for fixed-effect coefficients in multilevel
  (hierarchical) models. The coefficient effect sizes are standardized mean differences
  from zero (d) and unique variance-explained measures (squared semi-partial correlations,
  sr2). The package also reports variance components and level-specific and total
  R-squared values. It supports 2-level and 3-level linear and binary logistic models
  fitted with ''lme4'' (Bates et al., 2015) <https://doi.org/10.18637/jss.v067.i01>,
  and 2-level Gaussian and Bernoulli models fitted with ''brms'' (Bürkner, 2017) <https://doi.org/10.18637/jss.v080.i01>.

  linear regression coefficients," Methodology: European Journal of Research Methods
  for the Behavioral and Social Sciences, describe the 2-level linear-model methods.'
