Hello, Why the correlation between the random effects is negative? library(coxme) rats1 <- coxme(Surv(time, status) ~ (1|litter), rats) random.effects(rats1)[[1]] #one value for each of the 50 litters print(rats1)
rats2 <- lmekin(time ~ (1|litter), rats) fixed.effects(rats2) random.effects(rats2)[[1]] #one value for each of the 50 litters print(rats2) cor(random.effects(rats1)[[1]],random.effects(rats2)[[1]]) 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.
