Hello,
The documentation of nlme::varIdent says this:
"the coefficients of the variance function represent the ratios between
the variances and a reference variance (corresponding to a reference
group level)"
However, the parameter estimate shown in the summary output for lme
models is the ratio between standard deviations. Could this be clarified
in the documentation, e.g., by adding Eq. 5.13 from Pinheiro and Bates
(2000)?
