Subject: Re: [R] standardized random effects with ranef.lme()
Why do the results differ although the estimates (random
effects and
thus their variances) are almost identical? I noticed that
lme() does
not compute the standard errors
Have you tried RSiteSearch(MLWin)? I just got 29 hits. I wonder
if any one of these might relate to your question?
If you would like more help on this issue from this listserve, please
submit another post, preferably illustrating your question with the
simplest possible

- for several reasons, but if this is true, how does
ranef()
Using ranef() (package nlme, version 3.1-75) with an 'lme' object I can
obtain random effects for intercept and slope of a certain level (say:
1) - this corresponds to (say level 1) residuals in MLWin. Maybe I'm
mistaken here, but the results are identical.
However, if I try to get the
