you can get the estimated covariance matrix of the random-effects using:

library(nlme)
m <- lme(Orthodont)

# scaled by the residuals variance
pdMatrix(m$modelStruct$reStruct)

# raw
lapply(pdMatrix(m$modelStruct$reStruct), "*", m$sigma^2)


However, it seems that in your model you use as a fixed-effect your grouping factor "ano", which is not in the spirit of mixed-models.



I hope it helps.

Best,

Subject: [R] help im lme()



Hi R people!

I have a doubt in lme().
I use this model:

m2.lme<-lme(log(cmort)~idade+ano,random=~idade|ano,data=dados)

If i use summary I recive this output:

> summary(m2.lme)
Linear mixed-effects model fit by REML
 Data: dados
       AIC      BIC    logLik
  1139.313 1170.554 -562.6563

Random effects:
 Formula: ~idade | ano
 Structure: General positive-definite, Log-Cholesky parametrization
            StdDev       Corr
(Intercept) 3.131076e-03 (Intr)
idade       3.515018e-05 -0.042
Residual    5.687940e-01

...etc...

I know the value of Residula random effects is m2.lme$sigma but how do I find the value of idade or intercept random effects


Thanks in advance
