Since you did not provide an example, I'm not sure I understand your question. I will nevertheless offer some suggestions:
1. If you have not already, please review Pinheiro and Bates (2000) Mixed-Effects Models in S and S-Plus (Springer). 2. Also, please review the existing methods for "lme" objects. The following will produce a list: library(nlme) methods(class="lme") Then "getAnywhere" would list the code. With this, you could make a local copy under a different name and use "debug" to walk through the code line by line to see what it does. 3. If this seems to produce more obfuscation than enlightenment for you, please produce a simple, self-contained, reproducible example describing what you want, including the R code for something that seemed to come as close as anything you saw (as suggested in the posting guide! www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html).

The random effect standard errors and correlation reported are based on a Log-Cholesky parametrization. Can anyone tell me how to get the Covariance matrix of the random effects, given the above mentioned parameters based on the Log-Cholesky parametrization?? > > Thanks in advance > > Pryseley > > > --------------------------------- > > Find great deals to the top 10 hottest destinations! > [[alternative HTML version deleted]] > > ______________________________________________ > R-help@stat.math.ethz.ch mailing list > https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help > PLEASE do read the posting guide! http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html ______________________________________________ R-help@stat.math.ethz.ch mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide! http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html
