fitted.nlmeStruct: Calculate nlmeStruct Fitted Values
Description
The fitted values at level $i$ are obtained by adding together the
contributions from the estimated fixed effects and the estimated
random effects at levels less or equal to $i$ and evaluating the
model function at the resulting estimated parameters. The resulting
values estimate the predictions at level $i$.Usage
## S3 method for class 'nlmeStruct':
fitted(object, level, conLin, ...)
Value
if a single level of grouping is specified in level
,
the returned value is a vector with the fitted values at the desired
level; else, when multiple grouping levels are specified in
level
, the returned object is a matrix with
columns given by the fitted values at different levels.References
