Expressions of the form X@RMfixed(beta) can be used
 within a formula of the type
 $$response ~ fixed effects + random effects + error term$$
 that specifies the Linear Mixed Model. Important Remark: RMfixed is NOT a function although
 the parantheses notation is used to specify the vector of coefficients.
 The matrix $X$ is the design matrix  and $\beta$ is a vector of coefficients
 Note that a fixed effect of the form $X$ is interpreted as
 X@RMfixed(beta=NA) by default (and $\beta$ is estimated
 provided that the formula is used in RFfit).
 Note that the 1 in an expression 1@RMfixed(beta) is
 interpreted as the identity matrix.
