This function is generic; method functions can be written to handle
specific classes of objects. Classes which already have methods for
this function include lmList and lme.
random.effects is an alias for ranef; methods are
implemented for the latter.
random.effects(object, ...)
ranef(object, ...)will depend on the method function used; see the appropriate documentation.
any fitted model object from which random effects estimates can be extracted.
some methods for this generic function require additional arguments.
