unsm {sommer}

unstructured indication matrix

Description

unsm creates a square matrix with ones in the diagonals and 2's in the off-diagonals to quickly specify an unstructured constraint in the Gtc argument of the vsr function.

Usage

  unsm(x, reps=NULL)

Arguments

x

integer specifying the number of traits to be fitted for a given random effect.

reps

integer specifying the number of times the matrix should be repeated in a list format to provide easily the constraints in complex models that use the ds(), us() or cs() structures.

Value

$res

a matrix or a list of matrices with the constraints to be provided in the Gtc argument of the vsr function.
