extract.lmeDesign: Extract the Design of a linear mixed model

In fabian-s/RLRsim: Exact (Restricted) Likelihood Ratio Tests for Mixed and Additive Models

Extract the Design of a linear mixed model

Description

These functions extract various elements of the design of a fitted lme-, mer or lmerMod-Object. They are called by exactRLRT and exactLRT.

Usage

extract.lmeDesign(m)

Arguments

m	a fitted lme- or merMod-Object

Value

a a list with components

• Vr estimated covariance of the random effects divided by the estimated variance of the residuals

• X design of the fixed effects

• Z design of the random effects

• sigmasq variance of the residuals

• lambda ratios of the variances of the random effects and the variance of the residuals

• y response variable
