Usage

varcomp(model, ci=TRUE, level=0.95)

Value

Variance components table.

Arguments

Examples

library(predictmeans)
Oats$nitro <- factor(Oats$nitro) 
fm <- lmer(yield ~ nitro*Variety+(1|Block/Variety), data=Oats)
if (FALSE) varcomp(fm)
fm1 <- lme(yield ~ nitro*Variety, random=~1|Block/Variety, data=Oats)
varcomp(fm1)

data(Orthodont, package="nlme")
mod <- lmer(distance ~ age + (age|Subject), data=Orthodont)
if (FALSE) varcomp(mod)
mod1 <- lme(distance ~ age, random=~age|Subject, data=Orthodont)
varcomp(mod1)
