AE model using nuclear family trios

Description

AE model using nuclear family trios

Usage

AE3(model, random, data, seed = 1234, n.sim = 50000, verbose = TRUE)

Arguments

model

a linear mixed model formula, see example below.

random

random effect, see exampe below.

data

data to be analyzed.

seed

random number seed.

n.sim

number of simulations.

verbose

a flag for printing out results.

Details

This function is adapted from example 7.1 of Rabe-Hesketh et al. (2008). It also procides heritability estimate and confidence intervals.

Value

The returned value is a list containing:

  • lme.result the linear mixed model result.

  • h2 the heritability estimate.

  • CL confidence intervals.

Note

Adapted from f.mbf.R from the paper.
