formatVC function

Format the 'VarCorr' Matrix of Random Effects

"format()" the 'VarCorr' matrix of the random effects -- for print()ing and show()ing

formatVC(
  varcor,
  digits = max(3, getOption("digits") - 2),
  comp = "Std.Dev.",
  formatter = format,
  useScale = attr(varcor, "useSc"),
  ...
)

Arguments

• varcor: a VarCorr (-like) matrix with attributes.
• digits: the number of significant digits.
• comp: character vector of length one or two indicating which columns out of "Variance" and "Std.Dev." should be shown in the formatted output.
• formatter: the function to be used for formatting the standard deviations and or variances (but not the correlations which (currently) are always formatted as "0.nnn"
• useScale: whether to report a scale parameter (e.g. residual standard deviation)
• ...: optional arguments for formatter(*) in addition to the first (numeric vector) and digits.

a character matrix of formatted VarCorr entries from varc.
