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.
