get_ddf_Lb {pbkrtest}

Adjusted denominator degrees of freedom for linear estimate for linear mixed model.

Description

Get adjusted denominator degrees freedom for testing Lb=0 in a linear mixed model where L is a restriction matrix.

Usage

get_Lb_ddf(object, L)

## S3 method for class 'lmerMod'
get_Lb_ddf(object, L)

get_ddf_Lb(object, Lcoef)

## S3 method for class 'lmerMod'
get_ddf_Lb(object, Lcoef)

Lb_ddf(L, V0, Vadj)

ddf_Lb(VVa, Lcoef, VV0 = VVa)

Arguments

object

A linear mixed model object.

L

A vector with the same length as fixef(object) or a matrix with the same number of columns as the length of fixef(object)

Lcoef

Linear contrast matrix

V0, Vadj

The unadjusted and the adjusted covariance matrices for the fixed effects parameters. The unadjusted covariance matrix is obtained with vcov() and adjusted with vcovAdj().

VVa

Adjusted covariance matrix

VV0

Unadjusted covariance matrix

Value

Adjusted degrees of freedom (adjustment made by a Kenward-Roger approximation).
