Hi Cheryl, Here is an example of how to get the fixed and random effects covariance matrices.
require(lme4) (fm1 <- lmer(Reaction ~ Days + (Days|Subject), sleepstudy)) ## fixed effects vcov(fm1) ## random effects VarCorr(fm1) ## for documentation, see method?vcov("mer") Hope this helps, Josh On Mon, Aug 8, 2011 at 6:06 AM, Cheryl Johnson <johnson.cheryl...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hello, > > Is there a way to get the Var-Cov matrix from the LMER function? > > Thanks > > [[alternative HTML version deleted]] > > ______________________________________________ > R-help@r-project.org mailing list > https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help > PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html > and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code. > -- Joshua Wiley Ph.D. Student, Health Psychology Programmer Analyst II, ATS Statistical Consulting Group University of California, Los Angeles https://joshuawiley.com/ ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
