#' @title Collapse raw data by random effect groups
#' @name collapse_by_group
#'
#' @description This function extracts the raw data points (i.e. the data
#'   that was used to fit the model) and "averages" (i.e. "collapses") the
#'   response variable over the levels of the grouping factor given in
#'   `collapse_by`. Only works with mixed models.
#'
#' @param collapse_by Name of the (random effects) grouping factor. Data is
#'   collapsed by the levels of this factor.
#' @param residuals Logical, if `TRUE`, collapsed partial residuals instead
#'   of raw data by the levels of the grouping factor.
#' @inheritParams residualize_over_grid
#'
#' @return A data frame with raw data points, averaged over the levels of
#'   the given grouping factor from the random effects. The group level of
#'   the random effect is saved in the column `"random"`.
