[R] Interpretation of VarCorr results

2009-10-20 Thread r-quantide
Dear all, I'm working with a model to estimate components of variance by using the lme() function. The model is as the following: model=lme(fixed=X~1+as.factor(station),data=myData,na.action=na.exclude,rand om=~N+1|spliceOrHoming) Where X is the response measured variable, station is
