This function computes random effects for a linear quantile mixed model.
# S3 method for lqmm
ranef(object, ...)an object of class lqmm.
not used.
a data frame or a list of data frames of predicted random effects.
The prediction of the random effects is done via estimated best linear prediction (Geraci and Bottai, 2014). The generic function ranef is imported from the nlme package (Pinheiro et al, 2014).
