In VCA: Variance Component Analysis

Giesbrecht & Burns Approximation of the Variance-Covariance Matrix of Variance Components

Description

Compute variance covariance matrix of variance components of a linear mixed model via the method stated in Giesbrecht and Burns (1985).

Usage

getGB(obj, tol = 1e-12)

Arguments

obj	(object) with list-type structure, e.g. VCA object fitted by ANOVA or a premature VCA object fitted by REML
tol	(numeric) values < 'tol' will be considered being equal to zero

Details

This function is not intended to be called by users and therefore not exported.

Value

(matrix) corresponding to the Giesbrecht & Burns approximation of the variance-covariance matrix of variance components
