lmm.simu: An R function for linear mixed model simulation.

Description

An R function for linear mixed model simulation with generated data set and a given model.

Usage

lmm.simu(formula, method = NULL, ALPHA = NULL)

Arguments

formula

A linear mixed model formula.

method

The default linear mixed model approach is MINQUE. Users can choose both or one of two linear mixed model approaches, REML and MINQUE.

ALPHA

A preset nominal probability level.

Value

Return list of simulated results for variance components

Details

No data frame is needed when more than one response variables are analyzed
