An object of class "sem" that represents the estimated model
parameters and standard errors.
 Objects of this class have methods for the generic functions
print, plot  and summary.
An object of class "sem" is a list containing the following components. Some parameters are only estimated for liner mixed regression models (and vice versa).
pseudo.ya matrix containing the pseudo samples of the interval censored variable from each iteration step
coefthe estimated regression coefficients (fixed effects)
ranefthe estimated regression random effects
sigmaeestimated variance \(\sigma_e\)
VaVocestimated covariance matrix of the random effects
sebootstrapped standard error of the coefficients
cibootstrapped 95% confidence interval of the coefficients
lambdaestimated lambda for the Box-Cox transformation
bootstrapsnumber of bootstrap iterations for the estimation of the standard errors
r2estimated coefficient of determination
