# Test cases for function 'VCAinference'
#
# Author: André Schützenmeister
#
# Note:  Confidence Intervals for all variance components but total are compared 
#        to results of SAS 9.2 PROC MIXED (method=Type1, cl options, 4 decimal digits).
#        CI-limits for total VC are compared to Roche Diagnostics SAS Intranet Module VCA
#        results (if included in the testcase).used within the Satterthwaite approximation
#        For balanced data the Fisher-Information matrix used as approximation of the
#        covariance-matrix of VCs is identical to the implemented covariance matrix of
#        VCs (see 'anovaVCA', 'anovaVCAnub', 'VCAinference' for details).
