lmer-class: Mixed model representations
Description
The mer
class is mixed-effects representation using a
blocked, sparse, symmetric, column-oriented matrix and dense
matrices. The lmer
class extends mer
to represent a
fitted linear mixed-effects model. The glmer
class extends
lmer
to represent a fitted generalized linear mixed-effects
model. The summary.lmer
class represents summaries of these objects.Objects from the Class
Objects can be created by calls of the form new("lmer", ...)
or, more commonly, via the lmer
function or by applying the
summary
generic to a glmer
or
lmer
object.
