CLME (version 1.0-1)

clme: Constructor method for objects S3 class clme

Description

Creates an object of class clme. Methods as.clme and is.clme coerce (with error checking) to class clme and test whether object is of class clme.

Usage

clme( x , theta=numeric(0), ssq=numeric(0), tsq=numeric(0), 
                  cov.theta=matrix(numeric(0)), ts.glb=numeric(0), 
                  ts.ind=numeric(0), p.value=numeric(0), 
                  p.value.ind=numeric(0),  constraints=list(), 
                  method=character(0), est.order=character(0) )
## S3 method for class 'clme':
as(x, ... )
## S3 method for class 'clme':
is( x )

Arguments

x

list with the elements corresponding to the output of constrained.lme.

theta

vector of coefficients or effects.

ssq

scaler or vector of residual variance estimates.

tsq

scaler or vector of random effect variance estimates.

cov.theta

covariance matrix of theta.

ts.glb

global test statistic(s).

ts.ind

test statistics for individual constraints.

p.value

global p-value.

p.value.ind

p-values for individual constraints.

constraints

list containing information on constrants. Required element is A, the matrix of linear constraints.

method

method of isotonization (not required).

est.order

sentence stating the type of ordering (not required).

...

space for additional arguments.

Value

• Returns an object of the class clme.
