Folks In trying to use lmer for a hierarchical model, I encountered the following message:
Error in UseMethod("VarCorr") : no applicable method for 'VarCorr' applied to an object of class "mer" foo.mer <- lmer(y ~ TP + (TP|M),data=joe.q) > head(joe.q[,1:5]) TP M AB Trt y 1 1 Jan A NN 19.20002 2 1 Jan A NN 19.06378 3 1 Jan A NN 21.36292 4 1 Jan A NN 16.85191 5 1 Jan A N 17.89363 6 1 Jan A N 15.53853 I tried this through the display(foo.mer) from arm and by VarCorr(foo.mer) My understanding is the VarCorr was essentially designed to work with 'mer' objects. Am I wrong about this? The lmer procedure seemed to work fine -- David K Stevens, P.E., Ph.D., Professor Civil and Environmental Engineering Utah Water Research Laboratory 8200 Old Main Hill Logan, UT 84322-8200 435 797 3229 - voice 435 797 1363 - fax david.stev...@usu.edu [[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.
