fitted.REEMtree {REEMtree}

Extract the fitted values from a RE-EM tree

Description

This function extracts the fitted values from the LME object underlying the RE-EM tree. The fitted values are the fixed effects (from the tree) plus the estimated contributions of the random effects to the fitted values at grouping levels less or equal to the level given.

Usage

 ## S3 method for class 'REEMtree'
fitted(object, level, asList, ...)

Arguments

object

an object of class REEMtree

level

the level of random effects used in creating fitted values. Level 0 is fixed effects; levels increase with the grouping of random effects. Default is the highest level.

asList

an optional logical value. If TRUE and a single value is given in level, the returned object is a list with the fitted values split by groups; otherwise the returned value is either a vector or a data frame, according to the length of level. Defaults to FALSE.

...

some methods for this generic require additional arguments; none are used here.

Value

If the level is a single value, the result is a vector or list (depending on asList) with the fitted values. Otherwise, the result is a data frame with columns given by the fitted values at different levels.
