The function fits a list of covariance models using the REML method. In order to avoid singularities
of the so-called trend matrices make sure to use at least the minimum required number of sample points stored in
'Xs
' which depends on the defined trend order, see setCovModel
.
An object of class reml
which consists of a list of named lists
('model
', 'convergence
') each storing a fitted covariance model itself
together with the optimization results from nloptr
as an attribute
named 'optres
'. The default method for estimating the covariance parameters is
mlsl
which uses random starting points and thus could produce different results if
it is run multiple times. If the results strongly vary, then the corresponding REML function might have many
local minima which precludes the use of this default algorithm and another one, e.g. 'NLOPT_GN_DIRECT
'
(see nloptr.print.options
), might lead to better results.
