Arguments
| object,x | an  | 
| which | optional character string. For   | 
| level | character string. Whether the results should be on the
observation level ( | 
| norm | logical. Whether residuals should be divided by their standard deviation. | 
| nsim | number of response vectors to simulate. Defaults to 1. | 
| seed | an object specifying if and how the random number
generator should be initialized. See  | 
| newdata | a data frame with predictor variables. | 
| ranef | either a logical or a matrix (see
 | 
| sigma | ignored but obligatory argument from original generic. | 
| ... | potential further arguments passed to methods. | 
Details
anova implements log-likelihood ratio tests for model  
comparisons, based on the marginal likelihood. At the time being, 
at least two models must be assigned.
neglogLik2 returns the marginal maximum likelihood of the
fitted model times minus 2. 
ranefCov extracts the variance-covariance matrix of
the random effects. Similarly, VarCorr extracts the
estimated variances, standard deviations and correlations of the
random effects.  
resid extracts the residuals of Li and Sheperd
(2012). By default, the marginal outcome distribution is used to
compute these residuals. The conditional residuals can be computed by
assigning ranef = TRUE as a supplementary argument.   
simulate simulates ordinal responses based on the
input model. 
Further, undocumented methods are deviance,
extractAIC, fitted,
formula, getCall,
logLik, model.frame,
nobs, update, vcov.  
The anova implementation is based on codes of the 
lme4 package. The authors are grateful for these codes. 
Value
The anova.olmm method returns an object of class
anova, see also anova.
The coef.olmm, coefficients.olmm,
fixef, fixef.glm and
fixef.olmm methods return named numeric
vectors. See also coef and
coefficients. 
The deviance.olmm method returns a single numeric,
see also deviance.
The formula.olmm method extracts the model formula,
which is an object of class formula. See also
formula. 
The getCall.olmm method extracts the call for fitting
the model, which is an object of class call. See also
call. 
The logLik.olmm method returns an object of class
logLik, which is a single numeric with a few attributes. See
also logLik.
The neglogLik2 and neglogLik2.olmm
methods return a single numeric.  
The model.frame.olmm and
model.matrix.olmm methods return the model frame and
the model matrix of the olmm object. See also
model.frame and model.matrix.
The ranef and ranef.olmm methods
return a matrix with the estimated random effects.
The ranefCov and ranefCov.olmm
methods return an object of class matrix. The
VarCorr and VarCorr.olmm methods
return an object of class
VarCorr.olmm. print.VarCorr.olmm returns an
object of class VarCorr.olmm.
The resid.olmm and residuals.olmm
methods return a numeric vector.
The simulate.olmm method returns a data.frame
including simulated responses based on the input model.
The terms.olmm method returns an object of class
terms. See also terms.
The update.olmm method will update and (by default)
re-fit a model. It returns an object of class olmm. See also
update. 
The vcov.olmm method extracts a matrix with
the variances and covariances of the fixed effects of the model. See
also vcov.
The weights.olmm method extracts a numeric
vector with the model weights. See also weights.

Examples
## --------------------------------------------------------- #
## Example: Schizophrenia (see also example of 'olmm')
## --------------------------------------------------------- #
data(schizo)
schizo <- schizo[1:181,]
schizo$id <- droplevels(schizo$id)
## anova comparison
## ----------------
## fit two alternative models for the 'schizo' data
model.0 <- olmm(imps79o ~ tx + sqrt(week) + re(1|id), schizo)
model.1 <- olmm(imps79o ~ tx + sqrt(week)+tx*sqrt(week)+re(1|id),schizo)
anova(model.0, model.1)
## simulate responses
## ------------------
## simulate responses based on estimated random effects
simulate(model.0, newdata = schizo[1, ], ranef = TRUE, seed = 1)
simulate(model.0, newdata = schizo[1, ], seed = 1,
         ranef = ranef(model.0)[schizo[1, "id"],,drop=FALSE])
## simulate responses based on simulated random effects
newdata <- schizo[1, ]
newdata$id <- factor("123456789")
