Various Linear Mixed Model Analyses
Description
This package offers three important components: (1) to construct a use-defined linear mixed model, (2) to employ one of linear mixed model approaches: minimum norm quadratic unbiased estimation (MINQUE) (Rao, 1971) for variance component estimation and random effect prediction;(3) to employ a jackknife resampling technique to conduct various statistical tests; and (4) to conduct various model evaluations. This R package offers fast computations for large data sets analyses for various irregular data structures.
