remlIt {gremlin}

Mixed-effect model Restricted Maximum Likelihood (REML) iterations.

Description

Conduct REML iterations to estimate (co)variance parameters of a linear mixed-effect model (Gaussian responses).

Usage

remlIt(grMod, ...)

## Default S3 method:
remlIt(grMod, ...)

## S3 method for class 'gremlinR'
remlIt(grMod, ...)

Arguments

grMod

A gremlin model of class grMod. See gremlin or gremlinSetup for the functions constructing an object of class grMod.

...

Additional arguments to be passed to control the model fitting.

Value

A list containing an object of class grMod and matrix containing details of the REML iterations (object itMat). See gremlin for descriptions of grMod and itMat objects.

Methods (by class)

• default: Default method

• gremlinR: gremlinR method
