R Documentation

User defined variance covariance mixed-effects model fits

Description

A mixed-effects model fit by lmerUvcov. This class extends class "merMod" class and includes one additional slot, relfac, which is a list of (left) Cholesky factors of the relationship matrices derived from user provided variance covariance matrixes.

Objects from the Class

Objects are created by calls to the lmerUvcov function.

Extends

Class "merMod", directly.

Methods

ranef: signature(object = "lmerUvcov"): incorporates the user defined variance covariance matrix into the random effects as returned for the object viewed as a "merMod" object.
