remlIt function

Mixed-effect model Restricted Maximum Likelihood (REML) iterations.

Conduct REML iterations to estimate (co)variance parameters of a linear mixed-effect model (Gaussian responses).

remlIt(grMod, ...)

## Default S3 method:
remlIt(grMod, ...)

## S3 method for class 'gremlinR'
remlIt(grMod, ...)

Arguments

• grMod: A gremlin model of class grMod. See gremlin

  or gremlinSetup for the functions constructing an object of class grMod.

• ...: Additional arguments to be passed to control the model fitting.

Returns

A list containing an object of class grMod and matrix containing details of the REML iterations (object itMat). See gremlin for descriptions of grMod

and itMat objects.

Methods (by class)

• remlIt(default): Default method
• remlIt(gremlinR): gremlinR method

Examples

grSsetp <- gremlinSetup(WWG11 ~ sex - 1, random = ~ sire, data = Mrode11)
  grS <- remlIt(grSsetp)
