lmer-class: Mixed model representations
Description
The mer class is mixed-effects representation using a
blocked, sparse, symmetric, column-oriented matrix and dense
matrices. The lmer class extends mer to represent a
fitted linear mixed-effects model. The summary.lmer class
represents summaries of these objects.Objects from the Class
Objects can be created by calls of the form new("lmer", ...)
or, more commonly, via the lmer function or by applying the
summary generic to an lmer object.
