Hi, I am a quite beginner of random effect modelling. Sorry for my ignorant question.
My question is about the values of lme function. It returns coefficients which is a list with two components. The R-help file says that it returns the estimated random effects for each level of grouping. What is the estimator of this random effects in R? Since the random effects are random variables so this "estimate" should be something like mean or mode of the density of the random effect given data, f_i(b_i|y_i).... -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/the-estimated-random-effects-for-each-level-of-grouping-tp4164111p4164111.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.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.
