Fisher information matrix and score vectors of the variance components for Model 2
Description
This function computes the Fisher information matrix and the score vectors
of the variance components, for the multinomial mixed model with two independent random effects
for each category of the response variable: one domain random effect and another independent time and domain random effect (Model 2).
These values are used in the fitting algorithm implemented in modelfit2
to estimate the random effects. The algorithm adatps the ideas of Schall (1991) to a multivariate
model. The variance components are estimated by the REML method.
