vech2matlist

A <code>vector</code> of (co)variance parameters.

vech

An example structure to map <code>vech</code> onto.

skeleton

Converts a vector of (co)variance parameters to a list of covariance matrices.

Fit linear mixed-effects models using restricted (or residual)
maximum likelihood (REML) and with generalized inverse matrices to specify
covariance structures for random effects. In particular, the package is suited
to fit quantitative genetic mixed models, often referred to as 'animal models'
(Kruuk. 2004 <DOI: 10.1098/rstb.2003.1437>). Implements the average
information algorithm as the main tool to maximize the restricted likelihood,
but with other algorithms available (Meyer. 1997. Genet Sel Evol 29:97; Meyer
and Smith. 1998. Genet Sel Evol 28:23.).

vech2matlist: Vector to list of matrices.
