I am trying to use varcomp to obtain the variance partitioning across different nested levels of random effects (say x,y and z). I get the three variance components (for each of my along with an additional one called 'within' from varcomp output. I am using the 'scale total variance to 1' option and though the within component is small, it does form a part of what explains the complete variance. I am unable to understand what variance this 'within' defines.
Can someone kindly explain or provide a reference?
