Many random intercepts LMMs for balanced data with a single identical covariate

Description

Many random intercepts LMMs for balanced data with a single identical covariate.

Usage

colrint.regbx(y, x, id)  

Arguments

y

A numerical matrix with the data. The subject values.

x

A numerical vector with the same length as the number of rows of y indicating the fixed predictor variable. Its values are the same for all levels of y. An example of this x is time which is the same for all subjects.

id

A numerical variable with 1, 2, ... indicating the subject.

Details

This is a special case of a balanced random intercepts model with a compound symmetric covariance matrix and one single covariate which is constant for all replicates. An example, is time, which is the same for all subjects. Maximum likelihood estimation has been performed. In this case the mathematics exist in a closed formula (Demidenko, 2013, pg. 67-69).

This is the generalistion of rint.regbx to matrices. Assume you have many observations, gene expressions over time for example, and you want to calculate the random effects or something else for each expression. Instead of using a "for" loop with rint.regbx function we have used amtrix operations to make it even faster.

Value

A list including:

info

A matrix with the random intercepts variance (between), the variance of the errors (within), the log-likelihood, the deviance (twice the log-likelihood) and the BIC. In the case of "rint.reg" it also includes the number of iterations required by the generalised least squares.

be

The estimated regression coefficients, which in the case of "rint.regbx" are simply two: the constant and the slope (time effect).

ranef

A matrix with random intercepts effects. Each row corresponds to a column in y. Instead of having a matrix with the same number of columns as y we return a transposed matrix.
