CreateAceEstimate: Instantiate an 'AceEstimate-class' object.
In NlsyLinks: Utilities and kinship information for research with the NLSY

Description Usage Arguments Details Value Author(s)

Creates an instance of the S4 class, AceEstimate instantiating arguments set the parameter values estimated by the ACE model.

1 2	CreateAceEstimate(aSquared, cSquared, eSquared, caseCount, details=list(), unityTolerance = 1e-11)

`aSquared`	The proportion of variability due to a shared genetic influence (typically represented as a^2, or sometimes h^2).
`cSquared`	The proportion of variability due to shared common environmental influence.
`eSquared`	The proportion of variability due to unexplained/residual/error influence.
`caseCount`	The number of cases used to estimate the model.
`details`	A `list` that contains the modeling output and details.
`unityTolerance`	Specifies how close the the sum of the ACE components should be to one, to be considered properly scaled to one.

The contents of the details list depends on the underlying estimation routine. For example, when the ACE model is estimated with a DF analysis, the output is an lm object, because the lm function was used (ie, the basical general linear model). Alternatively, if the user specified the lavaan package should estimate that ACE model, the output is a lavaan object.

An S4 object of AceEstimate-class.
