merPredD function

Generator object for the merPredD class

The generator object for the merPredD reference class. Such an object is primarily used through its new method.

merPredD(...)

Arguments

• ...: List of arguments (see Note).

Note

merPredD(...) is a short form of new("merPredD", ...)

to create a new merPredD object and the ... must be named arguments, (X, Zt, Lambdat, Lind, theta,n):

• X:: dense model matrix for the fixed-effects parameters, to be stored in the X field.
• Zt:: transpose of the sparse model matrix for the random effects. It is stored in the Zt field.
• Lambdat:: transpose of the sparse lower triangular relative variance factor (stored in the Lambdat field).
• Lind:: integer vector of the same length as the x slot in the Lambdat field. Its elements should be in the range 1 to the length of the theta field.
• theta:: numeric vector of variance component parameters (stored in the theta field).
• n:: sample size, usually nrow(X).
